Surely every user is faced with the fact that over time, the system starts to work much slower than it was after the initial installation of Windows. Unfortunately, OSes of this type do not have “native” optimization tools. For this, third-party utilities are used. Among all of them, Advanced SystemCare version 7 is especially worth mentioning. Although the eighth version is now available, nevertheless, in favor of Advanced SystemCare 7, user reviews speak perfectly.
General concepts about the program
If we talk about the program as a whole, it can be noted that this is not even a single application, but a whole set of utilities for servicing and optimizing the system, that is, a real software package containing in its functional set about 30 modules designed for completely different purposes.
Interestingly? Analysis of the Advanced SystemCare 7 program, reviews about it and the structure of the software package allow us to conclude that not only the main optimizer is used here, but also some additional functions that even allow you to get rid of malicious codes like an antivirus. But more on that later.
Released Versions
As for the versions available for download and installation on a stationary computer terminal or laptop, there are three: Advanced SystemCare Free 7, Advanced SystemCare Ultimate 7 and Advanced SystemCare Pro 7. The Ultimate version differs in that it has its own built-in antivirus.
As already probably clear, only the first version of the package (Free) is free. You will have to pay for the second and third. Moreover, this is connected not only with the purchase of the software itself, but also with its activation. In the Advanced SystemCare 7 software product, the license key is paramount. Without him, as they say, nowhere. In the Advanced SystemCare 7 application, the license code is as follows (shown in the photo below).
There are two options. For example, for the Advanced SystemCare program, the license code can in one case activate the program after a trial period, and in the second - open access to full functionality, using hidden modules and features for this. This allows us to optimize the system much better.
Installation
Now it’s worth saying a few words about the installation. The fact is that in the second step, the "Master" presents the user with a "pleasant" surprise. If you choose the recommended full installation, the installer will install a lot of unnecessary things on your computer . Of these, perhaps only one can be useful. This is the Hamster PDF Reader. And then, you need to install this application for reading PDF files only if the system does not have such a program. If the same Adobe Reader is installed, Hamster is not recommended to be installed, since this application will immediately change the file association. And changing it to an inexperienced user will be quite problematic without knowing how to do it.
Along the way, it is worth unchecking the installation points of the Amigo browser and setting Mail.Ru service as the start page, as well as using it in the default search. But if someone wants to try a new browser, please, no problem. This applies to Russian versions. For English versions, Yahoo! and iObit panel.
In addition, some versions of the program also suggest installing iObit Uninstaller. But this thing is worth leaving. This application is able to remove programs and their components much more correctly than native Windows tools. Moreover, uninstallation operations do not leave behind computer trash.
In some cases, you may need to disable the antivirus, because it perceives the installed program as undesirable software. But this directly depends on which antivirus package is installed on the computer.
First start
So, the installation is complete. At the end of the installation, the main application starts automatically and offers to select the desired interface language, and then scan the computer system for errors and garbage. Please note that not all fields are checked, but only such as “Spyware Removal”, “Registry Repair”, “Privacy Clearance”, “Garbage Removal”, “Internet Acceleration” and “Shortcut Repair”. The remaining fields associated with lengthy processes such as registry defragmentation or operations with hard drives are not marked. As already clear, such processes take a lot of time.
In addition, note that a small board has appeared in the upper right corner of the screen. It displays in real time the loading of RAM and the processor. So at any time you can track system performance.
In the main window of the program (bottom right) there is a special button “Activate”. Actually, after clicking it, you will need to confirm the information about yourself, specify the email address and make the payment. For Advanced SystemCare 7, a license code will be sent to the specified e-mail address. The whole process will take no more than 5 minutes.
Fast optimization
Now it’s worth saying that the active services described above, which are ticked, are the main elements of quick optimization. Naturally, the program has a special function that can be called at any time. However, if you have a good enough speed for accessing the Internet, the “Internet Acceleration” item may not be used.
It remains to press the scan start button and wait for the results. The report window on the left will indicate the number of problems in each category that was selected for scanning, and the central window will display indicators of security, performance and system stability. In order to remove all problems, you must use the "Fix" button below, after which the correction will occur automatically. Upon completion of the error correction, the application will display a message: “Repair is completed!”
Note! Before starting a scan, you must close all active applications. Otherwise, the program during the scan will offer to stop their work or skip some step.
Basic settings
Access to the basic settings is carried out by pressing the button in the form of a gear in the upper panel on the right. An inexperienced user is better off not changing them. For example, you do not need to enable real-time malware protection. This may lead to a conflict with the antivirus. Similarly, you should not use optimization for working on the Internet (the “Final Acceleration” item). If you wish, you can disable the "Performance Monitoring" option (so that the application does not work in the background). Although the developers claim that this will not affect performance in any way, one can disagree with this.
Advanced users have advanced settings. It does not make sense to describe them in detail, since here you need to have special knowledge.
Advanced SystemCare 7: Key
As mentioned above, the key for the program is a means of unlocking additional functions or activating a program such as the Pro version. It is a 20-digit combination of numbers and letters that are entered in the special fields of the activation window (XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX).
Those who are faced with the installation of, say, Windows or any paid products, understand what is at stake. But after that, you can use many additional tools to care for the system.
Optimization after receiving a key
So, quick optimization is good. But! If you take the activated Advanced SystemCare 7 product, user reviews are amazed that the program finds much more problems in the system compared to one-click optimization. Why? This is due to the fact that the application performs a much deeper analysis of the system and uses additional hidden features and resources for this.
Of course, few users can afford to pay for the key in the Advanced SystemCare 7 program online, for example, by credit card, or even spend money on it. In principle, for the average user counting on fast optimization, the Free version is perfect. Advanced SystemCare 7 can be found for free on a variety of Internet resources or even go to the official website of the developer. But for advanced users, this option is not suitable. In this case, it is better to use Advanced SystemCare Pro 7 at least. Better, of course, Advanced SystemCare Ultimate 7, since there are many features.
Additional modules
As mentioned above, the software product itself comes with many additional modules, but some of them are inactive. As in the Pro version, in Advanced SystemCare 7 Ultimate key and unlocks all the features of the program.
All modules in the program are categorized. In addition to cleaning in one click, you can select the desired function and run it separately. It goes without saying that there are tools for optimizing the system programmatically, there is disk and registry defragmentation , program deactivator , tools for removing programs and restoring files, etc.
But the most interesting thing is that the application is equipped with a special “Rescue” function, which in most cases will be useful when restoring a system or creating recovery points. In addition, there are two more functions to restore Internet acceleration and registry fragmentation. And regarding the Advanced SystemCare 7 package, reviews say that it is with these functions that the program is fundamentally different from many similar products.
In some cases, you can turn on "Turbo acceleration." It’s better not to use it when you start the system, but if you are going to play or run some application that requires maximum performance or the use of system resources, such a function will be very useful.
Conclusion
Naturally, it is simply impossible to describe absolutely all the features of the program. However, basic knowledge should be enough to use and configure the application for your own needs.
It remains to add that the program works, as they say, at 100%. It is a pity, of course, that the versions of Ultimate and Pro are paid. However, in comparison with other optimizers, even the free version of Free shows much better results.
