Scan results are displayed at the top of the main CCleaner window along with basic information about the results.
And more importantly, Advanced SystemCare gives you more maintenance and repair options and lets you run several tests with a single click.ĬCleaner's maintenance scans are run one at a time from one of the program's three main windows: Cleaner's two-step analysis and cleanup, Registry's scan and fix options, and Tools' Uninstall, Startup, and System Restore windows. When I ran Advanced SystemCare Free's scans, I was able to knock an additional 8 percent off the wait for Vista to start. The last time I used CCleaner to tune up my laptop's Vista configuration, the machine's startup speed improved only about 4 percent. But I still don't want to cool my heels any longer than necessary, so I regularly clear out Windows' cobwebs. But it was the program's malware scans and one-click options that really won me over.Īs I described in a post from last February about improving Windows' start times, I'm willing to give my security apps and other startup programs the time they need to get going, even if it means I wait a little longer to start my workday. In my unscientific tests, Advanced SystemCare Free managed a twofold improvement over CCleaner in cutting Vista's start time. But when CCleaner was unable to provide my Vista laptop with more than a modest speedup, I decided to try IObit's Advanced SystemCare Free. For years I've relied on Piriform's free CCleaner maintenance utility to give Windows a performance boost. That doesn't mean you have to live with Windows' inevitable slowdowns. Unfortunately, the wait continues for the company to provide an effective, easy-to-use, and free Windows optimization utility. It took long enough, but Microsoft now offers first-rate, free security software for Windows via the Security Essentials program.
