  • What is ActiveCare

    Total Cleaner's ActiveCare analyzes your system and runs common system cleanup and maintenance tools at regularly scheduled intervals, such as finding and removing junk files, cleaning the system registry, removing Internet clutter, getting rid of spyware, and defragmenting your hard drives.

    ActiveCare works by monitoring key indicators of PC performance and then automatically running the repairs your computer needs, working silently in the background – only when your PC is on but not in use – and it only processes actions when they are needed. If you return to your computer during ActiveCare processing, you can either cancel the process or let it continue.

    ActiveCare Scheduling

    To specify the frequency for the automatic analysis and repair to run follow these steps:

  • Open Total Browser
  • Select 'Settings' on the left hand menu.
  • Select the drop down - 'General settings'
  • Select Performance Settings
  • You can now specify the frequency of the scan from every 3 hours, with intervals up to once a month. You can also specify what the ActiveCare scan does.
