Subsequent versions of Advanced System Optimizer have included several improvements over the first incarnation of the software. The Smart PC Care feature is one such example, working to carry out multiple tasks on the machine simultaneously. This is used to schedule automatic PC Care and scan the system without any required input from the user
=== Driver Scan ===
New versions of the software also contain Driver Scan, which is used to locate new versions of drivers that are already installed on the [[computer system]]. Drivers that currently have upgrades available are shown to the user, who can proceed with the upgrade with a simple click. This system also creates [[backup]]s of the existing drivers, in the event that an error would produce itself and prevent the machine from functioning with the new driver [[Installation (computer programs)|installation]].
=== Spyware detection ===
Spyware detection is made an even bigger priority in newer versions of the [[computer program]], with the System Protector feature used to monitor the computer’s processes for any suspicious activity. A disk optimizer is also included with the latest versions of Advanced System Optimizer, which allows the [[Application software|applications]] on the machine to run more quickly and for the machine to boot in a faster manner. An undelete feature is also included, allowing users to easily recover files that were accidentally removed from the computer system.
=== Conclusion ===
Most of these features made their way to the software platform with the release of Advanced System Optimizer 3, which is compatible with [[Windows XP]], [[Windows Vista|Vista]], and both [[32-bit]] and [[64-bit]] installations of [[Windows 7]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.top5optimizers.com/best-windows-optimizer.html |title=Optimize Windows XP, 7, Vista |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120626195026/http://www.top5optimizers.com/best-windows-optimizer.html |archivedate=2012-06-26 }}</ref> The release has already received feedback from more than 1 million users across the globe.
