Editor's review of Advanced WindowsCare 1.3
4.0 stars
- "Give your OS some personal care"
This isn't the most feature-packed Windows-optimization utility, nor the most effective, but we found it one of the easiest to control. Advanced WindowsCare's simple interface offers two main options: Repair and Repair And Optimize. The former fixes Registry entries and cleans out your operating system. The latter does the same thing and tweaks Windows for maximum performance.
If you run into trouble, the Restoration option can return your system to its original configuration. The Advanced menu provides fine control over repairs and optimizations. On the downside, we noticed only one improvement on our test PC: a reduced amount of used RAM. Also, the program's brief descriptions of system problems may not satisfy seasoned users. And although the latest version of the app includes a help file, we wouldn't call it extensive.
Nevertheless, if your system is running sluggishly and you're considering reinstalling Windows, it wouldn't hurt to try this freeware package first.

Version: Advanced WindowsCare 1.3
Pros: I'm not sure why this software product is free, because it works as good as all the optimizers and registry cleaners that I paid for. I tried it out on my test pc, because my regular pc was already tweaked from my purchased registry optimizers. Advanced Windows Care sped up the boot time and in general, my whole os by about 25 percent or more. It has a lot of features and scans and repairs your registry quickly. 5 stars and two thumbs up!

"Impactful freeware, though not perfect"
Pros: I have been used this little freeware for 3 months and recommended it to all my friends. I don't know why there are negative reviews, some of which are so ridiculous, like eating memory and infected virus. I must say this software works fine in my 2 Dell desktops and 1 HP laptop. It fixed problems in my computers and sped up them as new-installed Windows. Most of all, it's very very easy to use. My wife loves it too.
Cons: I understand there does exist incompatibility between this soft and some systems, since big ones like Microsoft Windows are not suiable for all computers (one of my computers can't make WinXP installed). The author told me they are trying to fix it. I believe them and highly suggest backing up before using any system tools including this freeware.

Version: Advanced WindowsCare 1.3
Pros: I certainly noticed a increase in operating speed. Easy to use.
Cons: When you do the analyzation, it tells you that you have too many unnessessary programs running during start-up. And that you should go into msconfig and remove the programs that you don't need. Unfortunately for a computer dummy like me,
I don't know for sure which ones to turn off.
