AWC is a desktop background manager. It runs at fairly low priority and has a timer that can be set to change your background at some interval.

Advanced System Care, basically checks your system for errors/trojans etc. Not harmful

AWC is necessary for running Advanced System Care, one of the most efficient and complete maint. progs. you can have. I run it every day; like taking vitamins. It can really make things cleaner and faster. Leave it alone or uninstall the core program.
