Anvisoft PC Plus.
Anvisoft PC Plus - a recent program for solving various problems with Windows. The principle of its work is similar to the Microsoft Fix IT service, but I think somewhat more convenient. One of the advantages - fixes work for the latest versions of Windows 10 and 8.1.
Working with the program is as follows: On the main screen, you choose the type of problem - the errors of the desktop shortcuts, connecting to the network and the Internet, systems, launch of programs or games.
The next step is to find a specific error that you want to correct and press the "FIX NOW" button, after which PC Plus automatically takes actions to solve the problem (for most tasks you need to connect to the Internet to download the necessary files).
From disadvantages for the user - the absence of a Russian interface language and a relatively small amount of available solutions (though, their number is growing), but now there are corrections in the program for:
- Most label errors.
- Errors "Starting the program is impossible, since the DLL file is missing on the computer."
- Errors when opening the registry editor, task manager.
- Solutions for removing temporary files, getting rid of the blue screen of death and the like.
Well, the main advantage - unlike hundreds of other programs that are abounding in the English-language Internet and are called "Free PC Fixer", "DLL Fixer" and in the same way, PC PLUS does not constitute something trying to establish unwanted software on your computer (Anyway, at the time of writing this article).
Before using the program, we recommend creating a system recovery point, and download PC Plus from the official site http://www.anvisoft.com/anvi-pc-plus.html

Antivirus utility AVZ.
Despite the fact that the main function of the AVZ anti-virus utility is a search for Trojan removal, Spyware and Adware from a computer, it also includes a small, but efficient system recovery module for automatic fixing network and Internet errors, conductor, file associations and other .
