![]() After all, IOBit doesn’t want free users to overwhelm the support department and create a poor user experience for the paid subscribers. This makes a lot of sense with services that use a freemium model. I value function over fashion any day of the week, so I don’t really see the point of this feature.Īlso, I’d like to point out that free users don’t have access to free 24/7 technical support. I don’t really care about the skins or how “fantastic” they may be. Last but not least, the final feature of the free version is listed as “Fantastic new skins & themes.” In my opinion, this is a bit of a joke. By freeing up the wasted memory, you can reclaim resources to help your computer run more efficiently. Basically, it can run through your memory and look for any leaks, runaway processes, and other abnormalities that waste your RAM. The second key feature of the performance monitor is the memory cleaner. The first of which is surfing protection, which helps secure your browser and prevents it from hogging too many resources. Interestingly enough, the performance monitor comes with two key optimization tools. They help identify when a rogue or zombie process is sucking up all your memory and CPU cycles. I’m a bit of a geek, so I love performance monitors. The next feature of the free version that merits a small amount of attention is an enhanced performance monitor. But I don’t have data from an independent lab test to quantify the efficacy of the free software versus the efficacy of the paid version at blocking malware threats. I’d like to know how things work on a technical level in the coding, though I do always say that some protection is better than no protection.Īgain, I think it’s interesting that optimization software includes features designed to thwart viruses. However, the free versions ability to identify and remove malware threats is extremely limited. Next, note that the free version even provides basic protection against security threats. At any rate, it’s a novel feature that I haven’t seen with optimization software before, let alone the free version. Still, it’s a cool idea, and might be able to identify an intruder. I’m not sure whether I like this feature or not because I don’t want another application potentially taking webcam shots at will. And what if the software snapped photos of me? Generally, I leave my webcam disabled because they’re so darn easy for hackers to control. I thought that was a pretty cool feature, though I do have qualms about it. It uses facial recognition algorithms to identify unauthorized users, snap a photo of the intruder, and can then raise alerts. In addition, it can clean up and optimize your startup programs with one easy click.īut get this – the free version includes a feature called FaceID which can detect unauthorized users of your computer. The ultimate goal of the free scan is to find and correct errors to optimize the speed and functionality of your computer. The scan will help clean up unnecessary files and ensure that system files are in the appropriate places. However, it does still retain the core feature of the product, which is running a simple optimization scan. The free version doesn’t contain as many advanced features as the paid version. ![]() Advanced System Pro – $19.99 (normally $49.99, though this could just be a marketing gimmick) for 1 year of protection on up to 3 PCs (For the latest prices and discounts, check here).Advanced System Care Free – completely free to download and use indefinitely.But as they say, there is elegance in simplicity. However, I was a little disappointed to see that they don’t have granular subscription terms with savings discounts. They don’t complicate matters with a lot of extra add-ons and costly options. The pricing model for IOBit’s Advanced System Care is unbelievably simple. Nevertheless, there are a lot of optimization tools out there that claim to boost your computer, so let’s take a closer look, starting with pricing. Now, that’s certainly dependent on the current state of any given computer system, and it’s much more likely that you won’t see such a massive performance increase. Today we’re going to be looking at 10, and they claim on the website that it can make a computer up to 300% faster. The main goal with just about all of these tools is to speed up a customer’s computer, but is the software any good, and does it actually work? In addition to an optimization application, they have also created antimalware, driver update, and installation management applications. IOBit is a handy little company that develops tools designed to improve system performance. ![]()
