Advanced Systemcare

Hello everybody,

I just installed Advanced Systemcare Free and it seems to be a very good program and I was thinking about buying the pro version as it isn't very expensive and could be very interesting for me (And my computer).
But, I have a problem : If I buy the Pro version, will I have to pay again 10 when there is an update in order to be able to instal the new version?

I thank you for your answers.

Advanced SystemCare from IOBit software.

It has a reputation in these forums. Sadly not a good one.

I do trust you will think carefully about using this software.

Just for your information, look at the comments in the WOT, (Web of Trust), page for this software developer web site;

What could I use then?

I have Malwarebytes installed but I haven't been very satisfied about it. I also have CCleaner, but my computer stayed very slow, although I bought it a year ago... I keep my Hard Drive clean, defrag it when it has to be defragged, etc.
Plus, with Advanced SystemCare there is a game booster and as I play a lot, it could be interesting (I haven't tried it yet though).

So than what?

The two main reasons for slowness:
1. Too many programs running in not enough RAM
2. Too slow CPU or graphic card for what you want to do.

Deleting unnecessary files, defragging and 'optimizing' the registry are minor factors.

Please tell: how much performance improvements did you note after running this free version? Don't only tell the numbers (25% faster), but also what was speeded up (booting: went from 75 to 55 seconds, browsing: pages display 10% faster, printing: 10 pages a minute in stead of 5).

(Sorry for some terms, I live in France and have a French computer so it's hard to translate some things...)

First of all, I already checked the programs which were running, comparing them with the RAM used and and Microsoft tells me that the programs running (Opera, Widgets, audio manager, trackpad manager, etc.) use about 20% of my RAM (About 750Mo of my 4Go RAM), so I don't think that I could stop more programs.
At the same moment, my CPU is used at 25% (My processor is a Intel Core i3 M330 2,13 GHZ)
I don't remember my graphic card but I play at two different games : CrossFire (A Counterstrike Like) and Dofus (A French MMORPG). In the beginning my computer didn't have any problems to launch those games but since a couple of weeks the games keep slowing down. At first I thought it was the Internet's fault but my girlfriend plays the same games, on a similar computer (A bit older though) and doesn't have any problems.
Also, when I launch VLC it can take up to 5 minutes before it start's to read the file, etc.

Since I used the Free version of Advanced Systemcare my computer boots up a bit faster (20-30 secs), Opera launches easier (A couple of seconds to display my Home Page as before it could take more than a minute), switching between windows is easier (I don't have a blank page for 3-4 secs) and the launching of the two games seem easier (Although I didn't played them and I didn't use the Game Booster).

I haven't tried all my usual programs like VLC, WMP, etc. I'll keep you informed later in the evening/morning (Depends on which part of the globe you are)

That's a lot if you do nothing. With me "System idle" is 99% if I do nothing, with dwm taking 1% of it if I move the mouse in the task manager window. But that is without widgets. not listening to music and on a desktop, so there's no trackpad to manage.

Obviously Advanced Systemcare worked quite well in your system. It might have taken off malware. Maybe better check with other programs (MBAM or an online antivirus).

I doubt if the pro version will do it any better. If not, you know not to buy upgrades.
