There is support available via contact form. IObit has a tiny FAQ section on its website (Image credit: IObit Advanced SystemCare Free) Support But all these tools have different user interfaces and open in their own windows, making them feel somewhat tacked onto the product.

However, there are useful tools in the free version of Advanced SystemCare, such as a Context Menu Manager, File Shredder, and Empty Folder Scanner. Some buttons are simply installers for other IObit products, some functions are locked behind the PRO subscription, and the rest need to be downloaded and installed before use. We like that the report that shows after scanning gives you clear information on what the problems are and what the suggested solutions will do, so you can make up your own mind on whether to perform each fix.īesides the features mentioned previously, Advanced SystemCare has a Toolbox section with around 30 other random functions. The scan tool found many system modifications and weaknesses in our test computer and could clean out thousands of junk files and old registry entries. The optimization performed by IObit Advanced SystemCare Free is very good. Throughout the software interface, there are constant suggestions to upgrade to Advanced SystemCare PRO and buttons to install other IObit software, which can get distracting. IObit Advanced SystemCare Free also requires a service to be installed on your computer and asks you to sign up for a newsletter.

The installation process is bogged down slightly by pop-ups asking you to install third-party software, such as Opera. There are even buttons in this mini-interface for clearing RAM and taking screenshots. Clicking on this opens up a little performance monitor with tabs for RAM, CPU, Disk, and Metrics. IObit Advanced SystemCare Free also has a tiny desktop widget that shows your current RAM and CPU usage. There are only two skins, but the Readable skin feels more fitting to a corporate environment. IObit Advanced SystemCare Free has a modern interface with support for skins, window transparency, and custom backgrounds. Advanced SystemCare’s user interface is easy to use (Image credit: IObit Advanced SystemCare Free) Interface and in use
