Windows 8: Advanced System Care

I have tried various system maintenance utilities in the past and have, at best, been disappointed and at worst, had to re-install the OS.

I recently had a problem with my laptop that it slowed down to a crawl. Being as impatient as I am, I immediately went shopping for a new whizz-bang laptop. This was something, because until now I have been a disciple for cheap refurbished laptops since, in my mind, a laptop is a disposable item. It makes no sense wasting money on super spec laptop if the thing is going to get stolen, dropped, coffee stained, etc sooner rather than later.

But I found my laptop had pretty good spec as it is. Only problem was only 2Gb RAM.

CNet recommended free Advanced System Care. 

I tried it and it works with no problems (so far). My PC sped up noticeably with no adverse effects such as browser toolbars, adware, registry errors, etc.  An unexpected benefit was that Advanced System Care offered a simple way to get to all the Windows settings that Microsoft hides from the average user.

For example, Advanced System Care allowed me to customize the Windows right click "Send To" option. Cool !

I am even considering paying for the upgrade !

Try it.
