IObit Advanced SystemCare Pro

About this release

This is the one panel approach to machine maintenance. Rather than running a disk cleaner, then a registry tool, then something to look at startup entries, then something else to check for privacy traces, it runs a configurable set of passes in sequence and reports what it found in one list. For a machine that has been in service for a few years and never had anything done to it, the first run usually recovers a meaningful amount of disk space and a noticeable amount of boot time.

The cleaning side covers temporary files, browser caches across every installed browser, log files, leftover installer payloads, orphaned registry entries, broken shortcuts and duplicate files. Each category can be reviewed before anything is deleted, and there is a restore point taken before registry work so a bad result can be undone. The duplicate finder in particular tends to recover more space than anything else on a machine that has been used for photographs.

The tuning side is where the boot time comes from. Startup entries are listed with an assessment of what each one actually is and how much it costs at boot, scheduled tasks are shown alongside them, and services can be adjusted from the same list. There is a per application optimisation mode that suspends background activity while a game or a heavy application is in the foreground, and a memory release routine for machines that are short of it.

Around that sit the monitoring and privacy tools. A performance monitor in a small floating panel showing processor, memory, disk and network with a temperature reading, a browser protection component that resets hijacked search and homepage settings, a privacy sweep that clears traces across applications, a driver check, a disk defragmenter that handles both mechanical and solid state hardware correctly, and a scheduled automatic care routine so the whole thing runs without being asked.

What you get

• One panel maintenance run with a configurable set of passes reported as a single list
• Cleaning across temporary files, browser caches, logs, leftover installers and broken shortcuts
• Registry repair with an automatic restore point taken before any change
• Duplicate file finder with review before anything is removed
• Startup manager with a cost assessment per entry plus scheduled tasks and services
• Per application mode that suspends background activity while something heavy is in the foreground
• Floating performance monitor showing processor, memory, disk, network and temperature

Changes in this build

• Cleaning rules updated for the current browser versions and their newer cache locations
• Startup assessment rewritten with plainer descriptions of what each entry does
• Performance monitor given per core detail and a configurable overlay position
• Duplicate finder considerably faster on very large photograph libraries
• Fixed a case where a scheduled care run could start during a full screen application
