Optimization:  

Advanced System Optimizer has a number of tweaks and optimization features that help maintain peak performance and personalize your PC experience. Even new computers can often get a performance boost (or at least maintain speed and efficiency) with the software.

One useful optimizer is for the memory. This utility shows you a simple view of your memory usage and relative memory efficiency. The memory optimizer couldn’t be simpler; simply click on the ‘Optimize Now’ button.

Another great tool is the Driver Updater, which automatically locates, downloads, and installs all important updates and drivers. This utility keeps your system up to date with the most current patches and security updates.

If you’re into PC gaming, you’ve probably experienced the frustration of annoying popups interrupting your games. With the Game Optimizer, you can turn on a gamer mode and play full-screen video games with no interruptions. You can even specify which games and programs you’d like to initialize the gamer mode on.

Feature Set:  

Advanced System Optimizer is feature-filled, with all the usual utilities and more.

Did you know that even after you delete a file it can often be partially (or even fully) recovered? Technically even after you delete a file the actual information isn’t removed until that space on the PC has been rewritten over with another file. This poses two unique situations: the times when you want to recover accidentally lost files, and situations when you want the files completely removed for good. Advanced System Optimizer has two tools that will help you with both:

The undelete tool recovers lost data and helps you retrieve lost files. You can recover deleted files from your hard drive, removable media (like an accidentally “formatted” camera memory card), partitions, and even CDs and DVDs. The tool scans for traces of deleted files and lets you recover what you need.

On the other hand, maybe you want to delete a file and you don’t want anyone to be able to recover it. In this case, you should take advantage of the Secure Delete tool that lets you permanently wipe files or folders from your computer (note: not even the powerful ASO undelete tool can recover it). If you have personal information or sensitive files that you would like permanently shredded and wiped completely clean, this tool will get the job done, completely deleting files you designate from a particular drive or the recycle bin.

What about sensitive files you want to keep on your computer? For optimum protection of confidential data, ASO includes a secure file encryptor. Simply designate which files or folders you need securely encrypted, set a password, and only you will be able to open the files.

Help/Support:  

Systweak offers a number of useful resources and help for Advanced System Optimizer, though with as easy as the software is to use, you likely won’t need it often. Online you’ll find a healthy lineup of FAQs, a searchable knowledge base, and even newsletters. Individual requests (technical support, general questions, and more) can be submitted online, or you can connect instantly with their online support chat feature.

Overall, Advanced System Optimizer is hands-down one of the best PC system utilities suites available. The valuable software includes all the right tools, effective and efficient features; all packaged in an easy-to-use interface. ASO is a perfect solution for beginners and experienced PC users alike. For new computers, routine PC check-ups, or complete system deep-cleaning, Advanced System Optimizer is a great way to go.
