Throughout the software interface, there are constant suggestions to upgrade to Advanced SystemCare PRO and buttons to install other IObit software, which can get distracting. IObit Advanced SystemCare Free also requires a service to be installed on your computer and asks you to sign up for a newsletter. The installation process is bogged down slightly by pop-ups asking you to install third-party software, such as Opera. There are even buttons in this mini-interface for clearing RAM and taking screenshots. Clicking on this opens up a little performance monitor with tabs for RAM, CPU, Disk, and Metrics. IObit Advanced SystemCare Free also has a tiny desktop widget that shows your current RAM and CPU usage. There are only two skins, but the Readable skin feels more fitting to a corporate environment. IObit Advanced SystemCare Free has a modern interface with support for skins, window transparency, and custom backgrounds. If iObit is unaware of this scam, then how do the scammers know someone just bought ASC, and why is the scammer's page the first thing to come up (immediately) after the purchase goes through? This is way too suspicious to just be a coincidence.Ĭons: Product URL: /Advanced-SystemCare-Pro/3000-2086_4-75628962.htmlAdvanced SystemCare’s user interface is easy to use (Image credit: IObit Advanced SystemCare Free) Interface and in use

If you look on the reviews, you'll see that I'm not the first person to experience this. I had to restore an older version of my system, and lost extremely important photographs, documents, etc. Within a matter of twenty minutes, my entire computer was frozen. After returning to my computer, it was extremely slow and most programs didn't work anymore. When I told him I was going to hang up the phone, he began begging me not to hang up. I told him there was something suspicious going on, and he continued to assure me it was standard procedure. He continued to alter major system settings until I had almost no more control of my computer anymore.

Directions were given, and I started to lose control of your computer, almost immediately. He asked me what version of Windows I was running and what browser I was using. Once I called the number, an agent stated that he must install a "technical support" applet in order to activate ASC. Issue Description: Once I purchased Advanced System Care on the iObit website, two phone numbers immediately appeared (on their site) stating that I must call one of the two numbers in order to get the activation code.
