    Hey guys, do you usually use Vaio Care via ASSIST button? I found that Vaio Care does not have enough feature as other system tools on the market, as well as it runs too slowly so I decide to uninstall it and use a better 3rd party tool.

    Please advise me a software that can take care of my notebook.

    BTW, after uninstalling Vaio Care, the ASSIST button does not run anymore, I'm wondering if I can use it to execute an application.

    Thank you.

    I use this instead of VAIO Care. It's got everything you are probably looking for. One activation key is good for 3 computers. You can try the full version for 30 days and if you like it, I'd be patient and wait with purchasing it a bit. When I was testing it at around the 9th day, I got an email that had a 3 day special that had a code for $10.00 off the purchase price.

    Just install TuneUp Utilities 2010 and I think it's very good, it has a professional UI and run quite quickly.

    Anyone knows how to change ASSIST button functionality?
