PC-Bug Fixer

Is this a game of "One upmanship" or just henpecking to have the “Last Word” ? Well, I'm not the type to do either. ☺ Seems constructive criticism from a User with only a couple of days experience using the Advanced System Care has no chance against a Moderator with 2,657 posts under his belt, I won’t be giving feedback in the future.

G'day Scannan, So while I am driving the car I need to read the "Product Manual " for a detailed description on how to change gears on an automatic transmission function, good one I must remember to do this next time. As you said "most software programs either do not give you even a sparse explanation under the function or none at all" is this a copout or an excuse for iobit not doing more ? Nice to know that I / we do not get charged for the "More Optimization Tools" however not all Publishers tell you that there is no additional charge they just use a similar structure and just bill you or just add it to the original download or create a subscription based charge using your Credit Card details that is on file when you created the original purchase and don’t tell you and you discover at the end that your original $29.90 turns into a $69.99 quarterly charge for what you thought were free additional program functions and in fact were not, but they did not tell you at the beginning. Just one of the many similar types I have experienced either myself or what my customers have told me and needed my help with. If you wanted to have a crack at me with "I am very concerned that a 41 year veteran in IT would make such a novice mistake with the Start Up Optimiser." or belittle my ability or experience I am surprised that you even said so being a Moderator with what ? Deleting what seemed to you a "promotional location" was not intended to be a "Promotion" of any type rather than just a "Location Finder" and general information as to where I am from. I recognise where your coming from believing otherwise. Don't you tell people when you post where you're from? Mine looked more like a "Postal Address" rather than a "promotional location" then again it's only my opinion. OK so for my "Startup Options" system tray utilities and programs where was it located and what was the description for it in the "Startup Optimizer" please and where can I reverse what was removed ? I think it’s a case of separating sections. Have a nice day and keep safe.

G'day Folks, At / on first impressions it is a bit overwhelming when you navigate through its interface and a bit confusing when you go to the "More Optimization Tools" to find that some of the tools need to be downloaded. The question remains, am I being charged for these ?. Then I find that not sufficient information as to what these tools and any other function do for Novice Users, the punie lines under the function is sparse to say the least and more detail is needed. Then what occurs in the "Startup Optimizer" and the "Hardware Accelerator" needs better explanations for Novice Users and some Advanced Users like me. For instance, I missed what the "Startup Optimizer" actually did as I lost most of my system tray icons (startup Utilities and programs I ad 24 afer the V I was left with 9 ) that i need / want loaded when I bootup, i.e. I missed where I removed them from the "Startup Optimizer" so that they would not be removed and remained all 24 of them. I feel that the "Startup Optimizer" takes too much for granted and removes or corrects items that should not be due to the unique functions and configuration of some Application Software and Utilities. At best the options By "Startup Optimizer" to perform anything needs to be asked as to "Do you want to remove or correct this ?" thereby avoiding any items that the User does not want removed or corrected. Yes, I know I am thinking of Novice users but this way they learn, the automation teaches them nothing. The "Action Center" is a bit of a ruse and is better described as a "Shop" as it is only a location to sell / purchase other Utility software from the publisher. Once you get your handle on the "Advanced System Care" the overall functionality is very good in my opinion having been in IT for the past 41+ years. As a reminder to whoever reads this, Trust no one in the computer industry or whatever opinions you read on any web page or internet remembering that so called "News Letters" are nowadays no more than advertising commercials that you see hundreds of on your TV's. Publishers of Application Software Programs or Utilities in most if not all instances, exaggerate when they explain the functionality of their offering. Remember when I say "Trust noone" that include me ☺ Happy computing and keep safe. Regards Roger Hass
