OK I'm a sucker for anything free that works , been using free stuff from IObit for two or three years now and it just plain works. I figured some of our members could benefit from it as well take a second and a least look at it , something for everyone. http://www.iobit.com/products2.html

When I first looked at your link all I saw were retail programs till I rolled down the page and saw the free stuff.

download.cnet.com is a great place for free software.
Wide variety of apps plus ratings.

They ( IObit ) offer Advanced SystemCare , Smart Defrag 2 , Game Booster 2 that to me is better than some others I have used and also IObit Malware Fighter. I have used these for more than a year and the all do a great job to be free but you can also upgrade any or all to a pro version for a price like anything else. They are worth looking at

I used Advanced System Care for a while but turns out it conflicts with Steam...and eventually causes Steam to stop working. It is even listed on Steam's site in the "non-compatible" programs list. I don't know if ASC 4 made any changes concerning that though. Scared to try again...other than that...it works great for a free program and I recommend it.

Been using it with Steam on a new HD I installed Nater for a couple of months now and so far no issues. I have it set to manual start up and not automatic when booting into windows on that HD
