This year, we decided to rate the top PC optimizers by category. Many users are looking for a specific type of optimizer. As a result, we created three top choices while evaluating the best PC optimizers, to address your particular needs. Whether you're looking for the best speed results, a complete fix and repair of a slow sluggish PC, or a value packed optimizer, you'll be extremely happy with the winning PC Optimizers - which were far superior to the many we tested and tried. Top PC Optimizer Software for 2016BEST Overall PC Optimizer Advanced SystemCare Ultimate"Includes the same excellent optimization as the Pro version (below) with the added benefit of real-time code protection. Prevents any slowdown and provides continual PC and Internet optimization. These are the new highly advanced versions for 2016." "Best PC and Internet optimization for less than many other bloated optimizers that are far less effective." Please Note: The Ultimate version (above) contains the same great optimization benefits of the Pro version - shown to the right. PLUS the Ultimate version has even more advanced features to continually keep your PC and Internet at maximum speed with added stability and security. (EDIT: the Ultimate version just went on sale today) A serious speed-eccentric optimizer that surpasses other higher priced quality optimizers. Sure, the interface may need a little work, as it's a little bland, but the speed results and value easily make up for an interface that you will rarely see. With the mostly set it and forget it advanced optimization routines, you will simply be enjoying the added zippiness to your PC and Internet - instead of poking and prodding through the program like many of the other overly complicated, and less effective optimizers available online. Why did it win BEST PC Speed Optimizer? Continually and effectively optimizes your PC and Internet. The automatic option will keep your system in a perfectly optimized state. The full system optimization improves startups, shutdowns, and more responsive performance for your PC and every program installed. You can easily set the real-time optimization to work on the fly to safely adjust system services and RAM.

For those with hard disk drives, the advanced disk defragmentation will intelligently place important data to the high speed sweet spot of your drive for lightning fast data reading from the drive. The automatic optimization settings are easily accomplished in the program. Even though the interface is not as graphically pretty as many others, I believe it's intentional to make it easier to quickly learn the program. However, once you spend some time with this optimizer, you soon realize, the bulk of the important optimization routines can be accessed by clicking the less than prominent "Quick Settings" link near the bottom. The true optimization power is behind that very key link. Since the Pro and Ultimate versions are fairly close in price, I recommend getting the Ultimate version for it's comprehensive optimization and slowdown protection - it worked alongside my current anti-virus program without problems. But if you're content with your current Internet security regime, the PRO version will certainly suffice. Recommended for: Users looking for extreme PC and Internet speed.
