TuneUp Utilities description
The complete tuning solution for your PC

With TuneUp Utilities, your system will be faster, more comfortable and more secure. All important aspects of system configuration, security, cleanup and maintenance can be accessed through a modern graphical interface.

TuneUp Utilities will optimize the performance of your PC, solve problems and help you easily customize your computer to suit your needs.

TuneUp Utilities helps both beginners and experts to make Windows meet their needs in a way that is better, easier and safer. All important system options are explained in an easy way and can be turned on or off at the click of your mouse. TuneUp Utilities will then make the necessary changes in the registry or boot files automatically. We place a high value on system stability, so that Windows won't stop working reliably. And most changes that you make can be undone in TuneUp Rescue Center - easily and safely.

TuneUp Utilities also gives you many more options. In addition to helping you make Windows "better looking", you can also clean up and optimize your system at the click of a mouse. TuneUp Utilities 2008 will clean up unnecessary data from your hard disk and remove unnecessary entries from your registry. It can defragment your hard disk and registry and optimize your system settings to make Windows run substantially faster. Most of this maintenance is performed automatically every week by TuneUp 1-Click Maintenance.

Automatic adaptation to your operating system
When making these changes, TuneUp Utilities reaches deep into the Windows system. However, Windows has changed a great deal from version to version. Because of this, the software automatically recognizes and adapts to each supported version of Windows. This is done automatically so that you, the user, won't have to re-learn the software for each operating system version.

Here are some key features of "TuneUp Utilities":

· Increase performance
No one should have to use a Windows system that keeps getting slower and slower over time. TuneUp Utilities 2008 includes several modules to help prevent your system from slowing down. TuneUp Drive Defrag determines the degree of fragmentation of your hard disks and reorganizes your files in an intelligent manner.

TuneUp Registry Defrag shrinks your bloated registry so that it takes up significantly less space. TuneUp StartUp Manager prevents unwanted programs from starting automatically. TuneUp System Optimizer uses various methods to improve general system performance and, most of all, your Internet speed. For systems running Windows 2000 or XP, you can also use TuneUp Memory Optimizer. This module lets you free up blocked system memory immediately, without restarting your computer.

· Free up disk space
Even the biggest hard disks fill up someday. TuneUp Utilities 2008 helps you preserve disk space by searching for many types of unnecessary files that can be deleted with the user's approval. The Start Center of TuneUp Utilities 2008 now shows you how much space can be saved, even before you have started a program module.

· Maintain Windows
Windows is a dynamic system that requires regular attention from its users. Because of this, regular system maintenance should be a priority. TuneUp 1-Click Maintenance can initiate maintenance of your entire system automatically at predefined times or with a single click of your mouse. This lets you keep your system in top shape at all times. If you would like to perform detailed registry maintenance, you can use TuneUp Registry Cleaner at any time.

· Solve problems
If Windows is no longer working properly, the three modules in this category can often be helpful. TuneUp Disk Doctor examines your system disks for defects or errors in their file systems. These problems can be fixed quickly. With TuneUp Repair Wizard, you can solve a number of general computer or display problems. If you have accidentally deleted important files, you can use TuneUp Undelete for another chance to recover your files. File recovery is only possible in this case if Windows has not yet overwritten the files with other data.

· Customize Windows
Windows is not as inflexible as you may think. The modules in this category will help you to customize your Windows system at the click of a mouse. With TuneUp System Control, for example, you can easily adjust Windows and program settings and Internet options or change the behavior of the Start menu or taskbar. TuneUp Styler lets you customize the appearance of Windows.

· Additional tools
Five powerful modules are included in this category. TuneUp Uninstall Manager helps you delete programs that you are no longer using. TuneUp Process Manager manages running processes, shows a list of open files and monitors system resource usage. TuneUp Registry Editor lets you view and edit keys and values in the registry.

With TuneUp Shredder, you can permanently delete files and folders so that unauthorized users will never be able to recover them. Finally, TuneUp System Information gives every user an overview of installed hardware and software, which can be very useful before performing repairs or modifications on your computer.
