When it comes to keeping your PC at its best, it can’t be accomplished by merely defragmenting your hard disks every now and then and thinking you need more RAM. Sometimes, the computer itself is very powerful but it’s not living up to the expectations you thought it would or has lost its touch and speed over time. This is not usual for computers that are thoroughly taken care of with some nice utility programs. There are a lot of them available, shareware and freeware alike. We have tried out most of the leading brands, including SystemWorks and Advanced System Optimizer but both left us with questions both in functionality and user-friendly behavior which they lacked. I personally did a research on utility programs some five years ago, and to this day I am glad to say I am still a user of Tune Up Utilities. From their early version to the latest 2011, Tune Up has never disappointed with their vast tools and extremely easy to use interface (which they have massively tweaked in the latest version). Below is an in-depth review on the program, illustrating all of its features to the best of their abilities.
THE INTERFACE
As you can see from the screenshot above, Tune Up Utilities 2011 has a very fresh and intuitive interface which welcomes users and gives them a comforting experience. The learning curve in this one is pretty short and requires minimum amount of time to familiarize. The drastic change in design from the previous 2007-2009 versions to this one makes this software stand out from the competition, namely Advanced Optimizer which used almost the same interface as Tune Up’s 2007 version. Overall, Tune Up looks classy.
THE NEW FEATURES
TUNING STATUS
Tuning Status is one of the easiest features in Tune Up 2011, it’s a little panel which shows step by step procedures to tune your computer technology wiz. Starting from the most critical changes which happen in Sector A, then moving on to the smaller ones in Section F. An amazing new addition to an already souped up software.
TURBO MODE
Turbo Mode returns in this version of Tune Up and is highly refined. This mode helps you use your computer to the max while tweaking every little thing about the way your computer works. Giving an average user with minimal computer knowledge the ability to access things the pros do.
STANDALONE REGISTRY CLEANER
Tune Up is notorious for having the most powerful and effective Registry Cleaner in the market. I’ve done my fair share of research on standalone cleaners and when it comes to registry Tune Up comes on top. Next to Tune Up is PC Tools with their Registry Mechanic but it’s still not as affective as this software.
ONE -CLICK MAINTENANCE
Tune Up’s One Click Maintenance roots back to the first version that ever came out. This feature combines some of the most effective features of Tune Up and makes them into a single process for users to just click and use. One Click can also be scheduled to occur according to the users’ liking. It includes registry cleaning, defragmenting registry, removing broken shortcuts, deleting temporary files, optimizing system startup and shutdown speeds and finally defragmenting hard disks. Truly puts users at ease.
THE FINAL VERDICT
Tune Up Utilities is a must-have for computer users worldwide. It is an essential requirement for every computer to keep them up-to-date and as good as new even after years of usage without having to upgrade expensive hardware and still getting frustrated. We recommend Tune Up Utilities 2011 to all our users. Happy optimizing!
