If not, well, at least you didn't spend $20 on it.Īdvanced SystemCare 5 Pro is compatible with Windows XP and later (including Windows 8). The longer Windows runs, the more detritus it accumulates, and that leads to slow, unstable performance. But I do think it's worth a try, especially if your system is more than a year or two old. I'm not saying ASC will solve all your system problems, or even that it'll make any noticeable difference. If you run into trouble, the Rescue Center should get you back in business. Wisely, the program sets restore points before making any changes. Then there's TurboBoost, which promises extra speed for work or gaming, depending on which mode you choose. Its ActiveBoost function manages system resources in real time, promising to improve overall system performance. I recently ran it on a year-old Windows 7 system, and it not only found and fixed a bunch of Registry errors and the like, but also uncovered a bit of spyware that Microsoft Security Essentials had missed.ĪSC can optimize Windows startup, defrag your hard drive, fix broken shortcuts, delete junk files and browser histories, and so on. There are any number of similar tools out there (some free, some not), but I will profess to liking ASC. So, just what is Advanced SystemCare (ASC for short) and why would you want it, free or otherwise? It's a system-optimization tool designed to improve performance, root out problems, and even add an extra layer of security. After the clock strikes midnight, you'll either have to pony up $20 or settle for Advanced SystemCare 5 Free (which is pretty good in its own right). Take note, however: this offer is good today and today only.

Hopefully they'll work out the kinks and deliver the promised license to everyone who requests it.

Nothing says 'I love you' like free software.
