Performance hit, heavy handed and a lot of advertising

Far too invasive and hard to get rid of.
Adverts are a real pain.
There are many MANY programs offering what this does for free.
CCleaner should be anyones 1st stop. Wise care or Win utilities (Also offered on here from time to time) are much friendlier, less bloated, take up less memory and have far more facilities.
What this has to offer is simply not needed by anyone past Windows 95

This system caretaker is regular on this site.
Installation was ok, at the end it encourages to subscribe to newsletters to gain access to some more "great stuff" and runs program without user consent when installer is still running, on close it opens default browser.
The program tries to connect to the internet with its different parts, like AUupdate.exe, Autoupdate and so on, if you don't have a firewall that warns you about new connections, you shouldn't notice it. The one new feature that caught my interest is FaceID "Protect your PC from unauthorized access and catch the intruders in the act with facial recognition technology", it's the first time for me to hear that face recognition is used to catch intruders.
So this FaceID will keep your webcam constantly open to monitor and search for faces "in the background" as they say, and if you will try to use your webcam with Skype, you can't, cause System care is using it, unless you have some webcam app that creates virtual cams which you can use with multiple apps.
The goal of this FaceID is to detect who is using your computer without you knowing it. Seems interesting but useless to me, since i know who could use my computer.
As for the system cleaner it offers nothing special, the same as all turbolizers and optimizers do, registry cleaner, disk cleaner, auto RAM clean, and some fishy registry tweaks, but don't get me wrong, it has a bit more than regular super turbo booster, like real time spyware protector, homepage protector, browser anti-tracking, and tweaks for Windows 10 "Security". if i'm going to try any of these tweaks, i would do it with utmost caution, which i also recommend, the golden rule of thumb - if you're not sure what it does, don't do it, or at least do some prior research.
