Total Non-Geek Review! Advanced System Care 7 Beta 1.0 Product Review by Trina Kelly Here is a review of ASC 7 from your common variety everyday computer user. I am not a computer geek or a nerd of any kind, just Sally Somebody from my kitchen table. While I recognize a lot of the technical language, I do not understand it so this review will be in layman’s language! :!:There are some complaints about the layout of ASC 7. Frankly, I do not understand the problem unless it is that you guys just don’t like change; the layout is user friendly and aesthetically pleasing. When checking out the skin options, I was disappointed with the two almost identical choices. I will agree that the Action Center is somewhat confusing. If you have run your normal scan, why would you want to go to the action center to run another program that will repeat what your scan just did? :?: There was not much information on the Surfing Protection and Parental Control, a few mentions but nothing to explain what the benefits to parents would be. The documentation that will go with this program would have been extremely helpful in the evaluation. Homepage Protection is a great tool! This will stop me from having to reset things when some of the add-ons that come with main programs try to take over when I miss removing them during install. :oops:Without documentation, the Program Deactivator got me in a little trouble. Being uneducated in the technicalities of computers and programs, the end user (myself) wants to click, turn things on and off, activate and deactivate, to see what the result is, not that we have any clue but we like to do it anyway! This tends to cause problems when things do not work right because we can’t remember what we changed! :cry: The Turbo Boost does not have an online game option that I could find and I do not play other games but I tried it anyway. According to the information provided, this function is supposed to turn off when you shut down but I always have to go in and turn it off after I boot up. :evil: I have been testing this as a daily computer cleaner. I just click scan and in a little more than 5 minutes, I am ready to play, surf, browse, or whatever I want to do with far fewer problems than before! I really love the letter grade that shows in the tray icon to indicate my laptop's status. :-D There are other features that, without documentation, are better left alone by me. I would love to refine things further with the proper information when you release the final version. I would also be interested in working on the documentation, if that is an option.:?: Thank you for the opportunity to test your program. I am on a limited budget so programs like this are like Christmas to me! After using ASC 7, it will definitely be on my priority list. :mrgreen:
