TuneUp Utilities - Optimize Your Computer and Fix PC Errors Easily

TuneUp Utilities operates like your own personal computer technician though speaks better English.

It works to improve PC performance, fix computer problems and allows for easy customization of Windows. TuneUp Utilities easy interface appeals to the novice while its capabilities also attract intermediate users.

Though I am a self-proclaimed computer geek of sorts and can fine tune my computer for hours, I opted for a free trial of TuneUp Utilities about a year ago. Following a massive spyware intrusion, my PC was being a pain and not functioning very well.

Now I use TuneUp Utilities regularly to drain every ounce of speed out of my PC and help keep it running smoothly.

Why Use TuneUp Utilities?

Though TuneUp Utilities offers many solutions to improved computer performance and most of these functions take a mere mouse click or two to perform. So, if some of the terminology is above your PC repartee, don't worry, the program will work just the same.

TuneUp Utilities for a Faster Computer

Many typical computer and program settings actually slow your computer down, registry files become too bloated or corrupted, and thousands of temporary files scatter across the hard drive, unneeded.

Perhaps your display settings are improperly set. Regardless, TuneUp Utilities will optimize these settings for you and make recommendations. Whether it is turning off Window's themes, removing unneeded programs or defragmenting your registry file, a novice can walk through the TuneUp Utilities process easily.

TuneUp Utilities for Web Browsing:

Web browsers provide default settings that are not always effective due to varying internet connections and security preferences. TuneUp Utilities adjusts these settings, letting you review them first, optimizing both dialup and high-speed connections.

TuneUp Utilities for Program Errors

TuneUp Utilities for Advanced Users

Some users will appreciate a few of the advanced features TuneUp Utilities offers. A program designed to replace the Task Manager in Windows allows a better view of the active processes.

A registry editor is available that offers a slight advantage over RegEdit with a History pane and Rescue Center backup.

TuneUp Utilities System Information panel offers some additional information lacking in the Windows version and is more intuitive.

The StartUp Program Manager and software removal program are located within the TuneUp Utilities suite and provides a user-friendly interface.

Another feature, TuneUp Utilities Memory Manager, may help improve a slow system but as with most memory managers the program is limited if the computer is substantially lacking RAM.

TuneUp Utilities to Customize Windows

Some enjoy TuneUp Utilities primarily to give Windows a new look. The program offers a TuneUp Styler for customizing icons, the Window's startup screen, boot screen, custom themes, and the ability to repair missing icons.
