Wise Care 365 Pro 3.18 is the average Windows cleaning &/or optimization software -- there's nothing I could say about this sort of app that hasn't already been said over & over again. If it helps you, great! And that includes if running it helps you to feel better -- that's always worth something, regardless what anyone else says about your improved mood being justified or not. :)
I can say installation is nothing to worry about -- no drivers, minimal registry impact, & new files only added to 2 folders. Other than that I'm posting this because there are a few links below that you might find useful -- comments on the download page on the weekend may/may not get posted. I also wrote a note about protected files, folders, & registry entries -- something that came to mind after yesterday's GOTD & the protected folder it added.

#3: "If you think, that you are faster with a pure ten, then install this. It acts as a psychological drug. It makes you feel better and your computer faster by 50%."
Some don't like that statement, but I'd offer Karl defense, not that he needs it...
Placebo effects work, often rather well. It also basic marketing 101 to make your customers feel good about their purchase -- otherwise they'll tell everyone else & soon you won't have any. My personal take, purely FWIW, is that something like Wise Care can help some systems that really need it. For me to believe otherwise, that it will make every system, including Karl's run faster, I need benchmarks, preferably verified or substantiated somehow, the way you see such things among the overclocking crowd.
Firefox can be set to delete cache, history, & cookies on exit, & ie can be set to almost do as well [I still delete such stuff through Internet Options from time to time], but some people use &/or rely on that stuff, & that's just me. A cleaning app's scan wouldn't find anything there. Windows tracks a lot of what you do, saving data both in files & in the registry. Nirsoft.net has utilities to monitor those logs etc., or you can just use search -- personally I don't bother too much with them, but again that's me.
The site has similar tools for the registry -- below are links to 4 tools for records that Windows constantly updates. A cleaning app will often flag these, as well as similar entries or records stored by individual programs rather than Windows. The reason I posted the links is in case anyone wants to see how frequently these sorts of entries replenish themselves -- delete them today & the lists will soon grow back. If you do visit the site, Do note that some Nirsoft utilities can be dual use [used for good or bad purposes], & so will often be flagged by security software.

One note I want to add is that files, folders, & registry keys can be protected, & that when they are, cleaning or tuning software cannot get rid of them. They usually won't tell you that they couldn't, so when you run one app & have it fix things, and then run a 2nd cleaning program & it still finds things wrong, *maybe* some stuff is protected & can't be removed. Software can set protection for files, folders, & in the registry, sometimes it can do that improperly, and sometimes that can cause you problems. It's not terribly common but it can & does happen, sometimes with security software, less often with regular software [I *think* usually re: DRM, e.g. yesterday's GOTD, which added a protected folder to app data], and perhaps more often with mal-ware.
Sometimes you'll see a lock file or folder icon in Windows Explorer, but sometimes not, & often that lock icon doesn't mean anything if you're logged in as admin. The only way to really tell is when you try to explore a folder, or delete a file, folder, or registry key/entry, & you can't. Usually you can reset the permissions &/or ownership through the properties security dialog, but not always. [Then *if* you want to persist, you take to Google & start trying things until you find out what type of protection has been enabled.]
A 2nd note is that it can be part of an app's programming to add files, folders, &/or registry entries, maybe with, maybe without restricted access, so you can remove them as often as you want, but as soon as you run that app, "They're Baaaaack". Sometimes you can find a way around it -- sometimes you either live with it or don't run that app.
