It’s a full-featured application in itself, and is available separately for free, but is also a highlight of the suite.

"IObit Uninstaller" 4.0 is a new addition to the suite, a powerful tool which can fully uninstall applications, browser toolbars and plugins and Windows 8 apps.
While the "Care" scan aims to check your entire system in one go, the "Toolbox" provides 22 individual tools for solving particular problems. It’s not always up to the standard of the best of breed freeware, but it’s better and more full-featured than many suites, and that’s enough to make it interesting. If you can avoid that problem, though, the “Care” scan does a reasonable job of cleaning and optimizing your PC. These are automatically backed up online, so signing in to Google restored them immediately, and this only happened once anyway, but it’s still a concern (especially for anyone who doesn't normally sign in). This was mostly fine, although we quickly spotted one significant issue: during one test, on relaunch, Chrome complained that its profile was corrupt, and all our settings and bookmarks disappeared. SystemCare created a System Restore point, then ran its fixes. You can choose to repair individual problems within any of these sections, but we clicked Repair to solve them all.

There aren’t so many, and they are mostly well-known tweaks (disable 8.3 name creation for NTFS, end hung applications faster), but there’s no harm in having them available here.įinally, a "Security holes" section highlights Windows updates you may not have installed yet, perhaps useful if Windows Update is turned off or you’ve just not rebooted in a while. “Performance issues" runs a similar check on Windows settings. We wouldn’t necessarily agree with every suggestion, but it may help you find tweaks you didn’t know existed. "Internet Problems” is more interesting, evaluating your IE, Firefox and Chrome settings and suggesting optimisations. The alarmingly-named "Browser security issues" is mostly about removing IE and Firefox cookies, with options to block known malicious websites and BHOs. "Spyware Removal" sounds rather more powerful, but we’re not clear about what it detects, and the system found nothing on our test PC. The "Shortcut Errors" feature correctly finds and deletes invalid shortcuts. It did reasonably well, finding 987MB, but CCleaner found 200MB more, and also had better application cleaning. They’re not very configurable, but the cleaner correctly detected and removed redundant Registry keys, and it’s able to defragment the Registry when necessary.Ī "Privacy Issues" function performs well, detecting and deleting history and cache data for various system and application sources: browsers, Office, media players, applications, Windows 8 apps and more.Ī "Junk Files" cleaner checks for leftover system temporary files. The Registry checks worked as we expected. We were told we had "4,292 Registry errors", for instance clicking this displayed a detailed report, and we could check it while the main scan continued in the background.

One significant plus is you’re able to browse any issues as the scan progresses. The scanning process took a while at 6 minutes 11 seconds on our test PC, but that was mostly because of the disk scan, a check for file system errors turning this off cut scan time to 1 minute 34 seconds. You can customise exactly what it does in a few clicks (you might choose to just clean your hard drive and Registry, say), but we selected every option, clicked Scan and sat back to watch. "Care" runs core maintenance tasks at the click of a button. Let’s get started.Īfter a straightforward installation, Advanced SystemCare 8 Pro opened with a straightforward console which organises its features into five areas. We can at least summarise the suite's high and low points, though, and hopefully that’ll be enough to decide whether the package is right for you. It's just not practical to cover every single tool in the depth we’d like.
The sheer weight of functionality makes reviews a little difficult.
