Thread: TuneUp Utilities 2010

Tuneup Utilities 2010 is a fantastic system utility with numerous modules available under one program. The software is very easy-to-use and the sections are very well organized. The utility helps optimize and maintain your computer needing very little effort or knowledge to manage an operating system. The opening screen of the application displays the Start Center which contains sections needed to the entire program. This contains four main categories- system maintenance, performance tweaking, problem fixing and Windows customization. The maintenance section helps clean and fix and defragment the registry, remove broken shortcuts, eradicate junk files and optimize the system by tweaking the startup/shutdown. The performance tweaking section scans the system to optimize your operating system and gain more performance from your computer.



This is done by optimizing unused programs and services, Internet settings, visual effects and hardware settings. The problem fixing zone is helpful for analyzing and fixing areas that report a problem with settings such as UAC errors or shares enabled with Admin privileges. Finally, one can customize Windows according to their preferences with the Customize option. Change the Logon screen, visual style, Start menu, Task Bar and Animation and effects completely in just a few clicks. Apart from all these options, the Turbo Mode button is an icing on the cake. This mode helps you to increase the performance of the system in just a single click. This mode detects and optimizes your system to boost the performance of the computer by performing a series of automated tasks such as postponing updates and scheduled tasks, turning off all synchronizing software, reducing visual effects and power savings and finally turning off services that are not critical such as media sharing, indexing and error reporting.
