Forget about Registry Cleaners. This is the fastest and easiest way to fix errors and speed up your PC in under 5 minutes.

For the past few years, I have been using a pretty basic Registry cleaner to optimize my PC and some client PCs. On top of that, I generally run a couple of anti-spyware products too. This usually gets the job done and PC performance will run pretty fast at all times.

Well, about a week ago, I was introduced to a product called “PC Health Advisor”. I was thinking, yeah great, another crappy Registry cleaner. So I went through the motions and got the download then ran the installer. Now when I first fired up this software, I realized this wasn’t just a Registry cleaner, but possibly the optimization tool that I had been dreaming of….So how did it measure up.

What is PC Health Advisor

pc health advisor

PC Health Advisor is a complete optimization tool for your PC. Forget about Registry cleaners. This thing does that and a hell of a lot more. This product fully optimizes your PC by doing all of the following:

  • Registry cleaning
  • Malware detection and removal
  • Disk optimization and duplicate finder
  • Process manager
  • Startup manager
  • Restore point manager
  • and more

This product covers all bases of optimization and PC error repair. I have written a lot of guides on manually optimizing disk and startup performance, but now this product incorporates all of that. So with one piece of software you can do everything. In the past, you could clean the Registry, but then you still had to perform disk optimization separately. Malware removal also required a separate program, but that is incorporated too.

Using PC Health Advisor

Ok, so this product has a great feature set, but does it actually work and is it easy to use?

The installation process took under 2 minutes in total, on a Windows 7 64bit computer with 8GB ram. The total install was pretty small at under 10mb. So far so good.

I don’t read instructions, so after installing, I see these big buttons as options.  There are also tabs at the top of the program that give you access to each of the areas of optimization. You can access the process manager, startup manager, duplicate finder, browser manager, clear temp files, clear recent history, manage registry scan settings and so on.

The interface was all very intuitive. It took me less than a minute to figure it all out. There are quite a few options in there, some are not apparent directly from the main interface, but there is an excellent level of optimization available and this means faster computer. Anyway, after checking out all the settings I started the scan, which is the huge button on the main interface.

The scan results you can see below.

PC Health Advisor scans in three separate areas. The Registry, processes and privacy. The scan results, as you can see, incorporate all the different areas, privacy, Malware, startup, Registry etc. From here you can choose which area to optimize, or you can fix them all. Thankfully I have no Malware.

I didn’t fix all of the 268 items. I was able to check through the privacy files section and most of those were ok. Just a few that needed deleting, which i could do via the edit button. This was really cool, because you don’t always want to fix/remove everything. I did clean out the 193 Registry problems and the startup processes.

Duplicate File Finder

The scan doesn’t include the duplicate file finder. This is a separate section to the program but it will save you lots of disk space. I ran the scan on c: and located 252 duplicate entries. There were some doubled up folders I was not aware of.

Total disk space I saved from this was approximately 1.23GB. Not too bad for 30 seconds work. I know if I run this on some older PCs I will probably free up half the disk.

PC Health Advisor Good and Bad

Well this is a very solid optimization product, the best I have seen so far. I love the fact that it breaks down the scan into different sections and you can then view and optimize each one. It gives much greater control over the whole optimization process and I feel like I can now do away with much of the manual work I used to do.

This is essentially 3 or 4 products rolled into one. But the integration is excellent, so it doesn’t feel like you are using something that has just been patched together. I am still discovering some new features and techniques for better optimization within this software. It is a powerful tool, but so simple to use.

The only thing I am doubtful of is the Malware scanner. I don’t know how well this part has been done or how much it will actually find. I will perform further tests and compare with a fully fledged anti-spyware product.

The interface itself is great, but there are some features that you won’t immediately find. Some things are buried a bit and I would love to see all of these on the main interface. When you use this program, just take a couple of minutes to browse around, because you will find many features that are not evident at first.

9/10 from me. I have already deleted my old Registry cleaner.
