ricohflex, Advanced System Care let's you tailor the software settings to your liking. You only scan and fix/change/clean what you want to. The program does NOT, as you put it, have granular control over every change, nor does it mangle your PC. After a scan, you have the option to view everything it has found and you can approve all fixes, deny all fixes, or be selective of which fixes are to be applied. I've been using it for years and NEVER had a single problem. It's a great piece of software that is constantly being updated to reflect the changing needs of operating systems and computers.

Othello86, Thank you VERY much for posting that! I wasn't getting the Enter code in the bottom right corner like I was supposed to and until I saw your post, it was looking like I wouldn't have been able to register mine in time.

Thank you I managed to register

Malc 180 days. If you have the previously given away version installed, you can use the new license code to extend your licence to 180 days from today's date. That is what I did, given the avast generated concern.

I find this to be a very good program. Just don't allow it to mess around with your computer's registry and m ake sure you specify what you want it to be able to delete when deleting junk files -- if you don't it could well take out things you want.

Malc, looks like 6 months. just go to the upper left hand corner where you have 3 bars and click on it then at the bottom left it has my subscription click on that and it will tell you how many days left. I still had 40 days on the previous subscription before this update. This software works great. It has some cons: uses a lot of resources and it tries to get you to subscribe to some of their other software.

Malc, 6 months

dert, I have had the same problem. In AVAST you can avoid it from scanning IO. Add it to the Ignore, do not scan section. Folder & or IO exe file. That will stop it from kicking this program out. I have both programs running on my computer without conflicts between them.

dert, Avast uses inept (cheaply paid, inexperienced) programmers. Get rid of it. Microsoft's Windows Defender is better than Avast, is built specifically for Windows, will not slow up your computer, and is absolutely free. There is no good reason to use anything else.

dert, All programs on this site are safe to download!

dert, It's all good, known false pos from Avast. Any line of code from one of their competitors will be flagged as malware.

unruly, Temporarily disable Avast, until download is complete.

Hi, maybe you could disable it or go into settings and try and turn off the web sheild.

I had to turn the web sheild off on my antivirus (AVG) to get it on my laptop. AVG have now put it into quarantine for me.. I'll deal with that in the morning..

I hope you can download it!

unruly, it is safe, proceed & enjoy. False pos from Avast.

I went into Avast and disabled the FILE SCAN. After that, I was able to install it. Now to find where I can turn file scan back ON...

Jim Koup, Top left corner for MENU , then [My subscription]

Jim Koup, This instruction worked in previous versions. In 13.5 you have to click on the 3 bars in the upper left corner of the window and it opens a menu of items. Last item on the list is "My Subscription". Click that and it will open the input box for the license code.

Jim Koup,
Select 'Menu" - top, left-hand corner
Select 'My Subscription'
Refresh
Enter your key.

Jim Koup,
Select Menu - top left-hand corner
Select My Suscription
Refresh
Enter key

Lennard Gill,
Hye,
Doesn't win 10 do all this software does?

"Doesn't win 10 do all this software does?"

Win10 does include disk optimization [defrag or trim], Defender for anti virus etc., Disk Cleanup [iffy], and a dialog in Settings to control what starts with Windows [also a bit iffy]. Check the product page linked above [in the blue box] & you'll find Advanced SystemCare Pro does a lot more than that.

ActionJackson, Then you better Glarysoft Utilities, it is even offered for free. Which version it is is not listed. Have a look!

ActionJackson, I agree, except it is a major annoyance to me. I can't even stop some IOBit programs from running using task manager, which causes problems when you want to do something resource intensive and want to pare your programs temporarily.
Otherwise, the programs seem OK.

ActionJackson, I stand corrected. If you click the button for custom install, you have the option to prevent the program from auto loading at startup.
