Most of us think very rarely about what makes our computers work properly. The only time we are preoccupied with the subject is when they start to malfunction.
It may be frustrating to know you invested a lot of money in a high-performance system, loaded it with a lot of GB of RAM, a lightning-fast processor and so on, only to experience error windows, slow loading pages and confront yourself with an overall sluggish device. The problem is that all computers become cluttered sooner or later and need some ‘cleaning’ and boosting every now and then. That is when utility software comes in, to help us solve any issues that may cause our device to run slow or be buggy.
What exactly does utility software do?
Utility software consists in specialized computer programs developed to repair, optimize and boost your computer’s performance. There are a lot of reasons why your computer might run slow: your drive is full, you installed and then improperly uninstalled a lot of programs and left behind entries and files in the Windows registry, you’ve got too many apps running on startup and so on.
There are various types of utility programs: registry cleaners, disk space analyzers, defragmenters and cleaners, network utilities, backup software, even antivirus programs and more.
Registry cleaners are among the most commonly used utility programs. They are very important for repairing and optimizing your PC’s performance, because they remove errors and invalid registry keys, delete unnecessary files thus freeing your disk space and more.
There are a lot of companies that offer just registry cleaners while others embed them in their utility software, along with other features such as computer protection, drive defragmentation, etc.

It is important not to confuse utility software with app software, as so many people do. App software consists in various programs developed for the common user: media players, word processors, internet browsers and so on.
Advanced System Repair – Is it any good?
Advanced System Repair boasts in being ‘the best system repair solution’ for your Windows PC. This utility software has a free version and a paid one, the Advanced System Repair Pro.
Advanced System Repair scans, fixes, cleans, optimizes and protects your computer.

Advanced System Repair Pricing
If you want to upgrade from the free version to the Pro version of the software, you are being offered 3 subscription plans to choose from: a plan for 1 PC, which will cost you $29.95, a plan for 1 PC + privacy controls, which will cost you $39.95 and a plan for unlimited PCs + privacy controls, which will cost you $49.95.
All the subscriptions give you a license for 6 months, so if you want to use the software for longer than that, you have to remember to renew it when the time comes.
Regardless of the plan you choose, you benefit from Advanced System Repair’s 60-day money back guarantee, which is a fair deal in our opinion.
As payment methods, Advanced System Repair accepts most credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express) and PayPal payments.
The free version of the software is a good way to test the program and the interface, but that’s pretty much all you get. The free version will only scan your computer for potential issues but won’t take any actions unless you upgrade to one of Advanced System Repair’s paid plans.
