Oh yes!! This was my favourite PC maintenance tool till last year!!

I said "was" because with so many FREE TUNE UP UTILITIES on the market nowadays, there is no longer need to pay a single dime for apps like today's giveaway, which is just an extended 6 months trial period, as I can see from Paul's comment.

So can't see any reason to download it: do you agree with me, dudes??

* TOOLWIZ SYSTEM CARE (==> My personal First choice)
Terrific FREE PC tune up utility providing you with over 50 effective built-in tools designed to speed up your SYSTEM and make your PC like brand new. Among them there is also the award-winning "Toolwiz Time Freeze" module, which can be downloaded as standalone software as well. Thanks to it, you can deal with any virus, malware and unknown risk without being worried anymore, because it basically creates a sort of VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT for your system partition through a "sandboxie style", kissing malware (and your wallet) goodbye for good. Best part is that you can enter and exit from this VIRTUAL SYSTEM with a single mouse click, without the need to reboot your PC: COOL, isn't it dudes??

(CAN NO LONGER POST ANY DOWNLOAD LINK)

* DISKMAX (==> Better than CCleaner as Junk cleaner)
Pretty unknown but very indeed effective FREE cleanup utility in my view, which makes your PC like brand new again in a few seconds time: simply amazing dudes!!

It provides you with 4 scanning profiles:

- “Quick” mode, to empty the Recycle Bin, remove all related temporary data, browsing information, history and browser cookies in a blink of an eye
- “Standard” mode, the same as above plus removes user accounts data, as well as leftover files from old Windows updates, orphaned Windows installer files, windows logs, multimedia and instant messaging caches etc….
- “Detailed” mode, the same as above plus web browser form data and database optimization, user assist, Windows event logs, deep PC scan, prefetch optimization and more.
- “Complete” mode, the same as above plus Hard Disk defragmentation.

Remember that this has a 6-month subscription, ie- it's just an extended trial period. I used to be a large fan of ASC5. Now with thanks to Giovanni you can replace all the functions with better freeware. The Advertising pestering from iobit will always be annoying.

Pros
*Has multiple different tools to clean and optimize your system, including junk file cleaner, privacy cleaner, register cleaner, disk defrag, registry defrag, and malware remover
*Privacy cleaner can normally clean or clean securely using DoD 5220.22-M
*Creates automatic backups to allow you to undo changes you make
*Fairly fast
*Can generate a portable version of the program

Cons
*Some tools shown in Advanced SystemCare are actually other IObit programs you must download separately, like IObit Smart Defrag, IObit Uninstaller, IObit Malware Fighter, IObit Unlocker, and IObit Game Booster
*Comes bundled with IObit Apps Toolbar — be sure to “Decline” during installation to avoid (NOTE: This may or may not be with GOTD version, I'm not sure)

Iobit's marketing stunts went from bad to worse long since. Once it discovered it could persuade computer users to actually pay for a rudimentary (and thus, largely ineffective) folder hider ('Protected Folder') and then get them to pay yet again to 'renew' after 12 months, it landed on the idea of punting out 6-month trialware in the guise of freeware.

It's doing exactly the same thing today in regards to a suite of utilities plus bolt-on separate programs that in my own experience -- which doesn't necesssarily mean it will be the same as someone else's -- don't out-perform the offerings from Wise, the high-repute software developer that has become iObit's biggest commercial threat.

Wise comprehensively demolished iObit's $40 buy / $20 a year ever after Protected Folder with its entirely free Wise FolderHider:

http://www.wisecleaner.com/wisefolderhider.html

and then met iObit head-on in the system utilities genre with WiseCare 365, where as can be seen here:

http://www.wisecleaner.com/wisecare365.html

the entirely free version -- not trialware, not time-crippled compulsory renewal ware -- is in operation very little different from the paid-for.

Nothing about this latest version of Advanced SystemCare appears -- according to IObit -- to be anything other than a tinkering around with the earlier version, which, thanks to GOTD, I DL'd last year and then ran in a comparison test with WiseCare365. Though ASC was more 'feature packed' (i.e., bloated) its core performance of fundamental utilities was no better and no worse than WiseCare's.

That today's giveaway of the day is actually today's trialware of the day is unfortunate but in the interests of checking and testing there's no reason -- well actually, there are several (see next paragraph) -- why others here shouldn't DL the iObit offering and contrast and compare it with its freeware WiseCare365 rival.

As to the caveats: (1) allowing *any* utilities suite, doesn't mnatter what it is, to start when Windows boots is highly inadvisable; (2) running *any* registry cleaner / optimizer without first setting either a System Restore point, or a registry back-up, is equally highly inadvisable. And (3) handing over your computer to always-on 'running maintenance' by *any* program other than a reputable antivirus, firewall, monitoring software such as WinPatrol and malware monitoring by Malwarebytes is plain daft.

Thanks then, GOTD. But isn't it about time iObit was told to stop this kind of time-crippled promotional hype -- in its own commercial best interests?

Please be aware that IObit Advanced SystemCare has been stealing virus signature data from Malwarebytes. The latter was able to confirm this by planting fake virus signatures in their updates and, sure enough, these were flagged
by Advanced SystemCare and no other anti-virius programs.
