Advanced SystemCare from IObit offers robust performance-enhancing tools for Windows. The most recent iteration of the software comes with utilities that are new and highly useful. There are more than 25 total functions in this software that will help your PC run as smoothly as possible.
The Toolbox is possibly the most useful part of Advanced SystemCare. It holds numerous utilities that are organized by category, which include Clean System, System Optimize, Repair & Security, and Clean.
With this software, you can optimize your hard disk drive and defragment it for improved storage and general function. You can also alter the operating system settings, manage drivers, permanently destroy files, search for issues or holes in your security, and defragment the system registry.
The software comes with a free widget that monitors performance and conveys information directly to the user. The widget shows network traffic, hard disk usage, CPU usage, and RAM usage. You can also use the widget to take screenshots and release RAM that could benefit the system.
You can set and manage points where the system will restore in the event of an accident through the Rescue Center, and the Turbo Boost feature optimizes Windows for speed by limiting processing power for unnecessary or extraneous functions.
A built-in antivirus module is included in the software, but it doesn't come with any powerful features. However, it will offer protection against malware and other dangers from the internet thanks to the IObit Malware Fighter.
There are other interesting utilities in Advanced SystemCare. For instance, the Program Deactivator searches for processes running in the background and shuts them down. You'll also get the benefit of HomePage Protection. This feature stops your homepage from being modified without your consent.
Advanced SystemCare also includes two pieces of bundled software, which are IObit Uninstaller and IObit Drive Booster. The uninstaller removes unnecessary software and plugins, and the booster works to keep the app driver up to date at all times.
The most recent version of the software comes with the Default Program function, which gives you the freedom to choose which piece of software you want to be the default player for a specific type of media. For instance, you can select Chrome as your default web browser and iTunes as your default audio player. It also comes with a startup manager tool. This tool includes a feature that allows you to optimize your system boot process with a single click.
The new Plugin/Toolbar Cleaner is a nifty little tool that offers protection against plugins that might harm your system. The software has been optimized itself for easier, more intuitive utility. From the app home screen, you can quickly reach the main product sections. There are five skins to choose from by default, and you download more if you wish.

Advanced SystemCare is a Windows toolbox that features more than 25 unique utilities.
Advanced SystemCare is a toolbox of utilities that you can use to clean your Windows PC as well as maintain and improve its performance. This is the kind of suite that practically every user should have in their arsenal. It has one-click features that you can run on a regular basis, and there are many individual tools, such as a file shredder that you’ll be glad to have when you need them.
Advanced SystemCare provides Turbo Boost, which can tweak Windows so that it boots faster. Program Deactivator can disable running processes that can slow performance. There’s a tool to eliminate unneeded entries from the registry, thereby shrinking its size, and then defragment it. Another tool lets you defragment and optimize your hard drives and other storage media. Other tools assist with changing Window settings, deleting unnecessary files to free space, and much more.
The suite also includes a series of performance monitoring tools that tap into the core monitoring services provided by Windows. The benefit of using these is that they’re much more user-friendly, and Advanced SystemCare even provides a widget that sits on your desktop, and provides easy access to a wide range of information, including CPU usage, RAM usage, and network traffic.
Advanced SystemCare also features a Rescue Center. This is where you can create Windows restore points as well as manage restore points that you or the application has created. This is a nice touch because Windows Restore is an essential safeguard when using a program that can make changes that can have a negative and otherwise lasting effect on your PC.
It’s worth noting that the included antivirus solution leaves a lot to be desired. Nothing wrong with it as a second or third line of defense, but you wouldn’t want to rely on it exclusively. Also, some features of the program are limited or not available in the free version and upgrading requires payment.
