Advanced SystemCare Features and optimization options
At it’s core SystemCare 5 is a free computer cleaner, simple and pure. Quick Care option has all the standard and basic features such as removing spyware and adware, cleaning the registry and deleting all the other useless fluff that slows down your system. It will even create a backup of the original registry entries so that if anything broke unexpectedly you will be able to return everything to the way it was (no risk at all). It’s quick too, a minute or two and that’s it, your next cleanup will be in a week or two.
Deep Care option
The Deep Care in this computer cleaner takes all the previous function much further and even gives and recommends system services that can be disabled safely, in my case it recommended deactivating pointless-for-home-user services (such as iSCSI and something to do with a Domain Controller) which are functionalities that only Big Companies need to use. iObit free computer cleaner scans do work deeper, clearing out tracking cookies, thorough registry cleaner (already embedded in this free computer cleaner), fixing your program vulnerabilities, malware prevention, and other system enhancements in the form of a disk Defragmenter and error checker.
Turbo button to automate the optimization process and boost performance
This free computer cleaner has a ” turbo button ” to speed up your computer in no time.So if you are busy and have only few minutes to spare then Quick Care option will do the job but the Deep Clean will catch more at the cost of potentially taking a few hours (only when defragmenting your hard drive or the registry).
This free computer cleaner also has a “Turbo Boost” button (which I use very often) , if you just need every bit of performance from your PC for some time but don’t mind some programs not working or it looking like something out of the dark ages of computing then “Turbo Boost” will perfectly do the job.
Aside from the useless services that get disabled by this free computer cleaner as part of the Deep Clean, Turbo Boost can disable services that people will use occasionally (such as printer and scanner support, Win Update and the Windows Compatibility service). It can shut down background programs that may be consuming resources such as your Windows Gadgets.

As mentioned you can even disable the resource hungry (but visually appealing) Windows Aero theme to gain back more performance on your system that may probably not have the benefit of a high-end graphics card. your computer will look like you are running an old windows operating system, but it will be much faster than usual.
As a powerful free computer cleaner, caution is needed with its Turbo-Boost magic button, it will mess a little with your computer and can break certain programs. If you have problems with a particular program not performing well or completely not working then your first step is to disable Turbo-boost and see if it then starts working again.
The free version vs Advanced System Care Pro v5

So, what exactly does the “Pro” version of Advanced System-Care 5 offers as extra-features?
More system speed boosts and improvements, better and deeper cleaning, more performance (disk defragmentation and active monitoring) to always keep your system at it’s best.
Rather oddly, you also get themes, each one of their skins is well crafted and looks good. It even appears that they have a forum dedicated to custom “home-brew” themes and skins.
The free computer cleaner‘s toolbox: corrects registry errors and fixes windows vulnerabilities.

A few of the most useful tools in the toolbox of this computer cleaner :
- IObit Uninstaller, which allows to uninstall programs efficiently (all data related).
- File Shredder, destroys completely private and confidential data that you don’t want to be recovered.
- Registry Defragmenter, helps keep your computer at its top performance (as the registry is difficult to defragment while it is in use).
- Driver Manager, updates all your drivers for you, saving you a lots of time.
- Cloned Files Scanner… you don’t need to be told what it does (really useful tool).
Alongside other features in this free computer cleaner this is my favourite tool:
- Win vulnerability Fix, this can automatically repair Windows errors and even re-register Internet explorer (if you use it of course) or your Media Player to fix any problems or errors they may encounter. Win Fix, in my opinion, looks to be a very powerful tool for resetting settings after the system has been hijacked by malware, spyware or other weird little programs have changed or modified settings. A must have tool for the toolbox of anyone helping a friend to fix a computer.
The last tool that wanted to see was the Game Booster, but, while they provide a link out to it from the systemcare5, it is not installed within it in the first time. At least the Game Booster is available so it can be use without worries alongside SystemCare v5.
A Free Computer Cleaner for everyone
To be completely honest SystemCare v5 is a must have product, for your Grandparents you can set it to “Stun” automatic scans

keeping the system fully optimized and completely clear of rubbish. Or for your family members you have the option “Maim” letting them control how and what gets cleaned. What left is the “Kill” option – which gives you complete control of all your computer cleaning and repair needs.
In truth: we like it, we like this free computer cleaner lots. From the Deep Clean through to all those quirky little tools that you didn’t realise you’d ever need. Everything you need is right there in front of you and in the end what more could you ask for?
