Even after uninstalling SystemCare, you're forced to uninstall each individual app separately. SystemCare's toolbox behaves more like a glorified stub installer for IOBit's other products than a true all-in-one program. Tedious uninstallation: Advanced SystemCare's setup is like a collection of shortcuts to other downloads. Many tools are shortcuts to separate applications that are visually inconsistent and offer questionable value over default tools.

Lackluster redesign: Claims of a Metro-friendly redesign amount to nothing more than color changes, font tweaks to a thinner sans-serif type, and icon packs. When in doubt, most users will probably opt for just that. One-click fix: Despite its daunting list of options, users shouldn't have trouble finding some kind of fix-all option. Lots of tools: IOBit's everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach to Advanced SystemCare means you're bound to find something useful for your machine in its massive library of tools, tweakers, and cleaners.

It comes with a suite of optimization tools, including an uninstaller, one-click registry fixes, defragmenters, and more. Advanced SystemCare Free is a Swiss Army Knife of a PC utility.
