Is Advanced Systemcare 7.3 Pro version worth the money?

Advanced Systemcare 7.3 Pro

Looks like it scans and fixes a lot!

Not sure it is really fixing anything. I have the Pro version and have used it to scan up to 4 times in a row, but stayed off the internet to see what would happen. Each time it said there were privacy issues or internet problems as well as other issues. I would do another scan, it found many more problems, I tell it to fix them then repeat the process but do not go back on line. It then shows I have a bunch of new problems I fix and repeat to only find new problems. The fifth time it was clear!

Is it making up issues to be fixed! Web pages still take too long to open. Have to stop the loading then reload it to see the pages in a reasonable time frame. Makes me wonder if it is just a scam!

personally I would not buy this program are sometimes travel I'd installed it to test it.
at the moment I'm using Wise Care365 Pro and meets my needs, I also have CCleaner.
I do not trust the Advanced Sytem Care program somehow does not convince me what he does, but that is just my opinion.

I don't like iobit's product, so for me no lol

I would council you to stay away from such programs like ASC or TuneUp. What they are doing isn't needed at all, and there is a chance to break something. I have never used them and I do not see need to do it.

IObit always breaks my Metro apps when I try the registry cleaner. The solution is creating a new user profile.

God, thank you. Finally someone who shares my view on these products.
I'll be honest with you OP, I'm kind of an independant technical support online and IRL as well, as the only thing that these products brings ("tune up softwares") are issues and problems. They break stuff, lie about the stuff they fix, cause random Windows issues, etc. And you know what is the solution to fix the issue they cause ? Uninstalling them. Simple as that. So to sum it up, stay away from these products, they aren't worth it and you can do everything they do manually.

most of OP are against these Programs.
But we are not using some sort of good programs and Free problem system now a day!
in my opinion you can see how these handy utilities are growing and made some E-Technologies in their programs to make changes in your OS like Tune Up Utilities Program De activator !
you can disable Most Unneeded programs or low frequent usable programs daily with it.
for me one of them is Adobe Reader(there are much more believe!) i know you can disable It In start up and auto update but when it come to disabling services of these programs you are in trouble...
then because you most do all things manually(also if you want to re enabling them!) and whenever you install a fresh OS you must sort each of them and again think about them.
But these Programs can do the job for you with 1-Click it is a little part of utilities affect if you going deeper you see more better things, but it is all about you to decide use them or not.
but in such days just staying with a stable os and installing some programs just because of that you recognized they are SAFE or looking at back point is not wisely at all it Is Electronic world you can do everything better and faster and there are ways to do it much better and more detailed.
anyway ideas to won't using a program that is not necessary for Persons is respectful at all.

Hi ! First day here on the forum. I have been doing a lot of surfing. I have seen IObit mentioned a lot. I was afraid to say any thing until reading this thread. Thank you both. I could not agree more with both of you. I just don't understand why people buy these snake oil programs that cause all kinds of grief. They definitely aren't need. I'm glad to see someone stand up and tell it like it is.
Thank you Aura and TwinHeadedEagle(Are you really Clint Eastwood)

Thank you sir for a great reply, and great advise. I agree 100%. I wish you could tell that to the whole computer world!

I can see that so many of you do not like this application but without precise points about what it does wrong it doesn't help much. Internet review companies like CNET like it and say it helps. The program looks like it does do things to help but how do we know for sure? Like I said in the original post, it looks like it might be a scam but I do not know that and none of the posts here can prove it one way or the other. Everyone is just giving their opinion. How do those of us who are not well versed in keeping our computers running well, find a program that will help? Shouldn't we be able to trust companies like CNET?

 

[Purshu_Pro]

Of course U have to trust them because they rule the politics in the internet world .
Unless we have our own experience its hard to quote which is better and reliable. We are the only one responsible for their growth.
Its really tough to say which is better,
ex: CNET Says ASC, Top Ten Reviews Says System Mechanic, PC MAG Says Some Others,
so in all the cases you will be confused what to use. You will be live experienced only when u meet mad people who is addicted to knowledge of these stuffs.
All the comments given by the members of this forum are acceptable in this thread.
IMO I suggest u to not use any of the software which costs u. I Use only CCleaner for my complete PC maintainance. I was also a user of ASC and I switched off it as i had some deep registry fixes by it which harmed my PC usage experience. What CCleaner does only whats essential to ur PC instead of sending a worm to ur brain after the fixes.

 

[donetao]

You do not need these snake oil programs to maintain your computer. If anyone knows these thing its our malware guy.
He has spoken!

Okay I'll break it down for your :

• Everything you do with these programs you can do it yourself manually : msconfig, Task Manager, services.msc, etc.
• Most of the time, these programs will conflict with your current Windows settings and either break the settings or modify them in a way that it'll break a Windows features and uninstalling the program fixes the issue;
• You install a program that you don't need anyway, hence you just added bloat to your system;
• Registry Cleaners are the cancer of the Computing world if you ever think that it'll help you improve your system performance;
• Etc.

Shall I continue or ?

Hi ! Aura! Do you know what CNJJ is saying. I sure don't. He he saying that ASC prevents some kind of Trojan from stealing information from his computer?? Or is he saying that it caused problems. Who or what is Dr. Web. Is this Dr. Web? Is Dr. Web suggesting ASC to remove a Trojan?
Hope you understand;I don't!

No offend to anyone with opposite opinion but :

• No, you cannot manually do everything that these programs are supposed to do, or you can, but it will need you a lot of time
• I tested some of registry cleaners in the past and some of them really can help (not improve performance) but help you get rid of leftovers for programs that doesn't exist on your computer anymore, unused file associations, etc... Especially if often install-reinstall-uninstall new programs, some good reg cleaner can clean the mess. CCleaner's Reg Cleaner is enough...
• Disabling some services, disk cleaning for junk, RAM, pagefile and defragmentation actually can improve performance of the system.

Examples :

• About disk defragmentation I wont explain, everyone knows that it should be done from time to time [faster access to files, big files that falls under constant fragmentation to be compacted one next to other on beginning of the disk, etc)
• Auslogics (v5) has some nifty tool that scans your computer and tells you : "Oh you have services that are used to manage touch devices - your device is not touch enabled - you can disable it" ; "You have fax service running - you don't send fax - you don't need it" "There's no Smart Card attached - you don't need the service for it", etc. It gives you an explanation what service do and what service you don't need to be running automatically with startup of Windows, but instead it changes it to start position at - manual start.
• Install Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Microsoft and after that install MS Office 2013 ISO from Microsoft... You can freely make some coffee, drink it slowly and watch all three parts of Lord Of The Rings (+Hobbit on slower internet connection), until Windows updates itself and same for Office 2013 to this day... And at the end, your C partition will have about 6000 - 7000 junk files, with weight of 3-4GB. Yes, I am concerned of having those unnecessarities on my system. (Windows build in Disk cleaner and CCleaner only won't help)

My point is, I need some of these tools, not any of them but I am satisfied with CCleaner + Wise Disk Cleaner [Portable or not] + Privazer for time to time + Auslogics Disk Defragg Free (or if you have Win8 it automatically defrags your partitions when system is idle).

Questions :

• Do I like IObit ? - No, I don't, it has adware in it's installer, it will beg you every day to pay for PRO version.
• Do I need tools like new Auslogics BoostSpeed, TuneUp Utilities, IObit ASC...? No,I don't like tools that automatically start up with Windows and tries to optimize everything in the background, taking RAM for itslef and CPU prioritization... NO ITS PARADOX.
• Do I have a need to pay for some of these tools? - Of course not, there is a plenty of good free tools already.
• Do I recommend these tools that falls up in category of "automatic optimizers"? - Hell no! Every of these "optimizers" have an option to mess up with the system files, Windows Settings and CPU prioritizations of processes and services, especially for inexperienced users these tools can cause headaches disabling some services automatically that program found it can be disabled and you will not know how to re-enable it. And it's totally stupid to let these programs runs in the background.

Note :
Before using any of these tools ,for your PC safety, it is recommended that you create a System Restore Point and backup important data as these kind of software can modify your system settings, registry and files.
This will help restore your PC to an earlier state in case something ever goes wrong in the future.

Thank you

look man if you want my idea ; dont work with any progrmae eccept cccleaner

I dont think there is anything intentionally malicious or bad about this program as it has been around for years and years.

Having said that it is a bit of a pain in the ass with auto starts,nag screens and trying to get you to download junk-stuff.

Make sure if you install it to check your add/remove programs to uninstall anything unwanted and check your start up items.I use the free version and amongst other items it`s ram/cpu monitor I find quite useful.

Remember use the program but dont let it use you and never clean the registry unless using ccleaner.

In fact you dont really need these type of programs at all as windows has it`s own tools and you will screw up something at some stage.

Regards Eck

This is a pic of the items scanned each time you use ASC 7.3 They all look like they are things we should do and should be able to do if we do not have an application like this. However, people like me do not have the expertise to do it without a program like ASC 7.3 So, what do we do instead? I ran the program yesterday and it was loaded with all kinds of issues and stability was listed as bad. I did it again today and this is what I had. It definitely looks like I need something to protect my computer. I do not visit porno illegal download sites.
