PC Tune-Up

PC Tune-Up is a professional software application whose purpose is to help you optimize your PC, repair registry errors, and scan your computer for junk files. The program combines a straightforward approach with several advanced tools in order to help you get rid of several problems that may cause crashes, slow speeds, and freezes.

The straightforward layout provides quick access to several features of the program, namely Backup, Scan, Repair, Defrag, Optimize, Protect, and Magic Button. Rookies may rely on the built-in wizard for configuring the dedicated parameters, while advanced users may skip this step and tweak the entire process on their own.

PC Tune-Up gives you the possibility to back up your system and registry files, so you can revert back to them in case of a system failure. You are allowed to pick the saving directory and specify a name for the current backup.

Tech-savvy users may tweak the backup process by selecting the maximum amount of disk space that can be used for restore points, time (in days) when Windows automatically creates its system checkpoints, as well as time when the restore points are stored.

The program empowers you to choose between two different scanning modes: Smart or Quick. The first one is specifically designed to perform a full scan of all your registry files and hard drives in order to locate any possible issues.

You should take into consideration that the tool may need some extra time to carry out a full scan, and in case you are in a hurry you may opt for the quick mode which needs about one minute to complete the task.

At the end of the scanning process, you are given details about the total numbers of identified problems and issues related to shared DLLs, most recently used file sections, startup info, ActiveX, application path, and others.

The Repair mode provides comprehensive information about each problem detected during the scanning process. It signals the issues with different colors and lets you view descriptions about each registry key (e.g. invalid application path, the key is corrupted).

What’s more, you can repair all problems or only the selected ones, export the list to HTML file format, and skip the detected issues at the next scan.

You can make use of the program’s defrag capabilities in order to remove fragmented pieces of information from your computer registry, such as old and broken files, and activate the optimization mode in order to free up some memory and make your computer run faster.

Plus, the tool builds up a list with the applications that are launched automatically when you start your computer, and you may enable or disable them, and deleted items from the startup list.

PC Tune-Up helps you protect your PC from known malicious ActiveX controls. It generates a list with the malignant ActiveX objects and lets you block all of them with just one click.

The Magic Button gives rookies the chance to automate the repairing process by running multiple operations with the aid of a single click, namely back up, scan, repair, and defrag.

PC Tune-Up proves to be a reliable program that comes bundled with a rich suite of configuration settings, and is suitable for all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
