Advanced PC Care is a potentially unwanted program that may be found useful by some users. The application is best described as a PC optimization tool that has the ability to scan, clean and optimize the Windows registry, modify Windows start-up items, control web browser extensions, and provide the user with access to several other neat features that may help them take better control over their system. Everything about Advanced PC Care would be great if it weren't for the questionable distribution and promotion techniques that its authors have adopted. The Advanced PC Care software may often be distributed via software bundles, so the significant fractions of this software's total installations may have occurred without the user's knowledge. Furthermore, once installed the Advanced PC Care software uses a trial version that includes a working scanner. However, the trial version is incapable of performing any optimizations, so users may be prompted to purchase the full version of the software if they want to optimize their computer.
The software costs $19.95, and the price may seem justified at first. However, security specialists are somewhat suspicious of Advanced PC Care's functionality, and they aren't entirely convinced that this PC optimization tool can perform the tasks it promises to. Overall, the Advanced PC Care potentially unwanted program offers questionable functionality, dubious propagation and promotion techniques, and it only lets your clean your PC if you pay for the full version of the program. With that in mind, we have no other choice but to recommend Advanced PC Care's removal unless you are convinced that this software works as expected or if you are satisfied with the results it delivers.
