nice, i just like to see opinion.

PCTech · October 23, 2009

I noticed you put "NONE" for 'fix broken shortcuts'... ASC has a tool named "Shortcut Fixer" located under the Tuneup module.

In regards to testing versus other programs, I have personally tested this this shortcut fixer against TUU's similiar tool (can not speak on System Mechanic's) and found ASC's to be much better.

okay Thankx i Updated the test! and also the scores

PCTech · October 24, 2009

No problem... thanks for taking the time to write up the review.

Maxxwire · October 28, 2009

jelrikj also left out what I consider to be ASC 3's most outstanding feature and that is Smart RAM...

Now let's see System Mechanic 9 try to do that!

~Maxx~

PCTech · October 28, 2009

I totally agree on SmartRAM... it is far and away the best at what it does. Most of the other similiar programs I have tested tend to have a negligible or even adverse effect on the PC.

IObit Guy · October 28, 2009

Thank you.

We surely will improve the current ASC v3 and add new functions. The good news is that we will start the project for ASC v4 soon and your comments are so useful. Thanks again.

firzen771 · October 28, 2009

my personal favourite program is TuneUp Utilities, just waiting for wenever the 2010 product will be released so i can use it on my Win7 machine :-D

MagicHunter · October 28, 2009

That's a nice test =)

Personally, I find that ASC's "System Optimize" needs a little more work.

The first time you use ASC, it optimizes a lot of things; however, even changing from "Basic" to "Top Performance (Home User)" doesn't seem to optimize things....

And Thanx for the info IObit Guy on starting the project for ASC v4, it just sounds so.... Professional. It's so gonna be an outstanding program. Can't wait to see what it would be like! :-D

Cheers.

Maxxwire · October 29, 2009

Thank you.

The good news is that we will start the project for ASC v4 soon and your comments are so useful.

That's great news! Here's hoping that we get an ASC v4 Beta to test soon!

PCTech · October 29, 2009

I agree about the "System Optimize" suggestion. It currently does a really good job, but could use a little bit of tweaking and a few enhancements.

I Am Gonna Test soon with A New Score. TuneUp Utilities 2010 Is Now Released But i'm Still Waiting On Advanced System Care V4.0 To Come And Then I Will Test Directly! :-D

fredericmartin · November 3, 2009

Ive also used iolo in the past and if my memry is correct a reboot is necessay to complete optimization, but sure it works.

Azziz · November 5, 2009

I bought iolo like 4 years ago and runnned fine on my xp.

PCTech · November 5, 2009

The problem I have with TUU and System Mechanic is that while they offer some really good features, often times, they will actually slow down the average user's computer. I have not actually tried the newest version of System Mechanic or the recently released TUU 2010, so I will withhold comment of those, but from past experience.. these programs often add several services/startup items that will negate the actual benefits provided by the program tweaking/cleanup apps.

enoskype · November 5, 2009

Hi PCTech,

You are right about System mechanic's nagation, but when using v 9, the only nuisance is the iolo service trying to connect to internet from time to time, as all the startup items concerning SM, is disbled and I use it as on demand for the utilities it has different than others. Even service can be stopped which I don't bother.

This way it's nagation is minimal.

Cheers.

vman · November 5, 2009

It would be nice if you could post up some scan results, comparatives, and other data so we can compare them ourselves.

But I'm glad to hear you found something that works for you.

PCTech · November 6, 2009

enoskype - Sounds good with regard to System Mechanic. I'll have to test this newest version soon.

It's in the system immunity thing.
