Windows Utility: Advanced System Care

Although Rightardia is primarily a Linux shop, it has a couple of windows PCs and laptops that use XP Pro. We have found that over a couple of weeks, most Windows machines slow down. We use Advanced System Care weekly to improve the performance of Windows PCs.


This software has three modes:

The Maintain Windows section focuses on four areas of maintenance: spyware removal, Registry cleaning, a privacy sweep, and deletion of junk files.

The Diagnose System button provides system optimization tools, detects spyware, defragments your disk, and scans for hijacked Windows settings. In our tests the scan and clean for each of these areas took less than 10 minutes to complete.

Under the utilities section you are given several tools, which are similar to plug-ins, for other areas of optimization and diagnostic tests. Overall, Advanced SystemCare Free is a good way to maintain your system's speed and clear out junk files, but you'll need to remember to run it regularly because scheduling of scans is only available in the paid Pro version.

Advanced SystemCare found so many problem in my newly installed Windows system. Is this a joke?

A new Windows does not mean: it is error-free and it is full optimized. During the installation of Windows 2000/XP, many drivers and software are also installed, leaving lots of useless registry entries and junk files in your new system.

Microsoft does not clean them for you after the installation but Advanced SystemCare can deal with them. Microsoft does not know your type and how you use your PC. Advanced SystemCare knows what your computer needs and knows where it has to tinker to speed things up.

Advanced SystemCare "Security Defense" can prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests; Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Browsers; Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.

"Security Defense" is a "Prevent" function ensuring no known malignant codes can install onto your PC without warning while you are on the Internet. The database for "Security Defense" is updated often. Please make sure your Advanced SystemCare is always updated for maximum security.

Comments on the Linux face off article between Red hat and Ubuntu

Fedora does indeed have the Pan newsreader available. You can use the Package Kit installer to install it, or do 'yum install pan'. There are third-party repos such as rpmfusion that carry the Nvidia drivers, and installation is point-and-click simple.

Finally, there's even a flash page on the Fedora wiki that tells you how to make flash work perfectly. (Google "Fedora Flash" -- pretty easy!) :-)

You apparently did not read enough to know that Fedora is Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), which means you'd have to enable RPMFusion to gain the Third party drivers for audio and video. That Totem plug-in and Pan is available; I'm looking at it.

And in Fedora, as in most distros, you'd use a root password (su or su-) to handle installing packages. It's considered more secure than having an open sudo. Remember that Linux is all about security. Of course, if you prefer, It's very easy to set up sudo on Fedora as it is on any other Linux distro. Keep in mind that under the hood, they're all Linux.

As to ClamAV, yes, it will update just fine, if you read enough to know to add 'freshclam'. That's what 'manual' pages are for, my friend.

Fedora's a US distro and Ubuntu's a S. African distro. Different laws apply. Remember reading that disclaimer on not using copyrighted codecs if you're in the US?

There's tons of info available if you take the time to look and read, rather than jump in without research.

I hope that anyone reading your blog will realize that millions of people have success where you've fallen short.

Nice post. You are totally right. Ubuntu is way easier than Fedora (although they can be equally buggy. Debian beats them hands down in the stability department.)

One additional comment: next time you install it, use AutoTen: http://www.dnmouse.org/autoten.html to add many of the things you've been confused about.

Tom's right about Debian and stability. The packages are older, but rock-solid. Fedora's a testing distro and cutting-edge breakage must be expected.

I resorted to Fedora 11 KDE because Kubuntu had so many problems. But Fedora 11 has the screen resolution problem, it can find automatically fix the resolution to 1280x1024. I have to do it every time manually using "display". Then finally yum was so totally screwed that I could not fix it. I tried the help from the Fedora forums but everything failed.

Even a humble distro like PARDUS can do things better than mighty Leonidas of Fedora. I had only bad experiences with Fedora all the time. Now I think I will be back to buggy Kubuntu because at least Kubuntu has fixes that work. Fedora is broken beyond fixing.

In summary, if you are a Linux savant, Red Hat may be the way to go. I usually don't read the manual until I run into a problem. If you are a noob or newbie, Ubuntu may be the kinder, gentler way to go. I do plan to try Debian Linux that Ubuntu is based upon the next time I have to reload.

I resolved the video problem by removing the the Nvidia video card and replacing with an ATI PCI Express card. An ATI Catalyst Control Center appeared on the menu when I rebooted.

Regardless of what Linux distro you choose, Linux is a smarter and more economical way to go than Windows 7. You do need a little more technical skill than the average Microsoft Windows bear. Give it a whirl and Rightardia hopes that some of the reader comments will help you with your next Linux install.
