What is TuneUp Utilities

TuneUp Utilities is a program that works with Windows to make the system run smoother, cleaner and faster by going through the files and deleting what’s unnecessary and tuning various aspects of your programs to optimize performance.

The TuneUp Utilities Program

One of the worst things about purchasing new electronics is that they’re soon going to be old electronics. This is the case with your HDTV, your cell phone, and definitely your computer. Even if you keep the PC free of dust, free of viruses, and refrain from heavy gaming and intensive RAM usage, the PC is still going to bog down on you over time. This is just a fact of life. Junk builds up inside of the registry and throughout the HDD, and computers end up lagging down significantly after only a year or two. TuneUp Utilities is a program that scans your computer for these issues and spruces things up. The end result is a PC that operates faster and more efficiently.

TuneUp Utilities 2013, released by TuneUp Software GmbH, is a program that’s designed to delve deeper into the trenches of your PC than similar programs can. The scans take longer and there’s more stress put on your memory and HDD, but the thorough cleaning TuneUp Utilities provides also gives more speed and better performance than those smaller, quicker programs.

Features of TuneUp Utilities

One feature that everyone will notice instantly with TuneUp Utilities 2013 is the user-friendly interface. It does not look like some cheap antivirus program or some registry cleaner. It looks more like a website, with different sections laid out neatly so you can observe what’s going on. You have sections like Installed Programs, Registry, Windows, Hard Disk, Computer, Usage Data, and Recommendations. The comprehensive sections allow you to view exactly what’s on your computer before you decide from one or more of the many options available.

The reason TuneUp Utilities is able to improve performance more so than similar programs is due to the wide range of cleaning it performs. For instance, you can defragment your disk, delete temp files, scan for corruption and delete it, clean your registry, and much more all from one tool. It’s convenient and effective.

Another strong point of TuneUp Utilities is the ability to check for updates, arrange your custom settings, and to undo any changes under the TuneUp Utilities section. This allows you to custom-tune the program to your specific parameters and also ensures that you’re never stuck with the changes the program makes. You have complete control over your PC.

Unfortunately, this is not a freeware program, and you’re not going to get much with the trial version. You can see how the program works and how well it scans, but you won’t be able to take any action.

Pros

• A comprehensive program
• The tweaks made typically last
• A myriad of tuning tools

Cons

• Program may be too complicated for some
