Advanced system care

Feb 22, 2015 5:17AM PST

I want to inform people who intend to download this software not to. I am running windows 7 32 bit IE 11 browser and once I installed it it slowed all the functions down on my computer. Advanced system care makes it impossible to remove the software once installed. I had to completely wipe my harddrive clean with the DBAN utility and reload my operating system.

People who have used this should have their pc exorcised. I've lost count of the problems I've dealt with on this issue.

stay away

I have to agree, stay away from any software that claims to clean and fix your registry. They tend to do more harm than good.
