About this release
Advanced SystemCare is the maintenance suite that rolls the usual pile of tune up jobs into one window with a single scan. It clears the junk and leftover files that build up as you use a machine, tidies broken and obsolete registry entries, clears the privacy traces browsers and applications leave behind, and flags the startup items that quietly stretch out boot time. The idea is that one pass handles the housekeeping that keeps a machine from bogging down.
The Pro edition adds the deeper tuning and the automatic side. It can watch the machine and clean in the background, optimises system settings for responsiveness, and includes tools for defragmenting and for freeing memory when something has been left running too long. There is a startup manager for taking control of what launches with Windows, and a set of fixers for the small annoyances that accumulate on a working machine.
It is meant to be approachable, so the headline is a single button that runs the whole scan and shows what it found before it changes anything. Underneath that sit the individual tools for people who want to run just one job, and a set of toggles to decide how aggressive the automatic cleaning should be. It stays out of the way between runs and is quick to pull up when a machine starts feeling sluggish.

What people are saying
One scan cleared a pile of junk and trimmed my startup. Boot is quicker. Reviewed before applying though.
Watch the installer for extras and decline them. After that it does the maintenance job fine.
Pull it up when the machine feels slow, run a scan, back to normal. Handy to have around.
