  1. Review - Advanced SystemCare Free

    3.4.0 (Oct 30, 2009)

    To: keish, leofelix, smurfberry & others who feel ASC destroyed their browsing or nuked their PC.

    This is excellent, free software. The problems you encountered were a result of blindly accepting all recommended changes to your system without checking to see what those changes were.

    Inability to open certain websites after using ASC was caused by your agreeing to "immunize" your system by blocking a list of thousands of tracking cookies, potentially harmful websites and ActiveX plug-ins. If you weren't willing to accept such "passive defense" restrictions to your browsing, don't accept them! Don't blame the software for doing the job it was designed to do. The software gave you an opportunity to review all changes before implementing them and even provided a mechanism to undo those changes.

    I agree with clifton. The registry and privacy cleaning functions are comparable to CCleaner and many commercial software products. I have used this product since its Beta stage and never needed to undo any changes,... but then I always review those changes before enabling them.

    "Software Informer" was another third party product that Iobit occasionally adds as a trial add-on in continual attempts to improve their products. Like other software and driver update products, these are strictly use at your own risk.
