System Maintenance

Top Maintenance & Optimization will extend your computer life span

After having cleaned up your computer from any virus, spyware, trojans and general unwanted programs, you might want to take the extra step and make the most of your computer.

Extending the life cycle of an old machine or making sure to get the maximum performance from a new computer require tweaking deep system settings and running periodical maintenance.

Both these two areas need accessing and changing parts under the "bonnet", which is dangerous for a normal user, as any mistake could leave the computer permanently damaged.

Fortunately there are very good products like the new TuneUp Utilities 2010, which make the entire maintenance process simple and more importantly safe.

First of all, it is a very well designed program and all controls are presented in one single Start Center.

From there the new TuneUp Utilities 2010 offers four different modules which include "performance enhancing" functions covering the following areas:

• Maintain system
• Increase performance
• Fix problems
• Customize Windows
• Launch Turbo Modus
• Configure Live Optimization

Among all the available features, we'd like to mention the Turbo Mode and the Live Optimization.

Turbo Mode concentrates the entire performance of your PC on active programs, the ones that you are actually using while turning off unnecessary or user selected processes.

Live Optimization manages resources efficiently, improving program response speed and reducing program startup times.

A new TuneUp Gadget provides a visual check of the overall system health, at a glance.

You really have no excuse not to keep your computer in top-notch conditions anymore!

Sure enough, if you are extremely familiar with your computer registry you wouldn't necessarily need this tool. However, achieving the same results would require a very long, tedious and dangerous session fiddling with the "innards" of your computer. We have no hesitation in recommending a 1-click, highly-effective and totally safe tool instead.

TuneUp Utilities 2010 can be used on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

You can download a free 30-day trial of TuneUp Utilities 2010 from here. If you decide to buy it, you will be able to install it on up to 3 computers.
