| Verdict: IObit Advanced SystemCare Pro 15 is a fully functional system maintenance tool. It doesn’t consume much system resources itself. Also, it frees RAM from unnecessary programs and services.

Overall, it’s an all-in-one tool to get rid of useless files and entries to run a computer like new. With different features and a competitive price, I am fully satisfied with Advanced SystemCare Pro 15.
Also, Look at:
I have found that the optimiser has disabled the photo previews in a folder, I just get an icon instead. As others have noted, there is zero customer support
OK,
It destroyed my PC a while back, but I thought I would give it another chance. THis time I bought it of EBAY BUT there technical support team won’t support you and you get referred to sales.
Did it work?
Look good to start with then with the driver update it actually burnt out my DLink plug in USB plus crashed several other programs.
Would I use it again. I considered it but noted the cost was $29.00US from their site which is 6 monthly. If you buy this of Amazon, I’d say you will get the same lack of nill customer service.
There must be something out there which basically get the junk out of the register. Please feel free to contact me, but under no circumstance would I recommend this product. To finish off, it took 30 days to get a refund last time nor did they offer consideration for having cost me $250.00 to have my PC rebuilt. I am amazed they are still in business!
Why would you buy it through eBay and not right from the developer, iobit. You are more likely to find problems buying it third party. I have been using this product for 5+ years and have never had an issue.
It generally doesn’t matter where you buy from. Most of the vendors including eBay or WorthWagon for that matter provide activation codes only and the actual software product is downloaded from official developer.
Evaluating Free Version. Seems to have helped some behavior peculiarities from bad app install.
MalwareBytes AV sw is flagging almost every app in the the AdvancedCare folder as a PUP – “Potentially Unwanted Program”. What…?
Malwarebytes thinks Windows Computers do not need any kind of Optimization software or Registry cleaners for that matter. Hence, it tags all such apps as Potentially Unwanted Program or PUP. Please ignore those nags.
