Product Details
The software immediately conducts a quick glance at the system as soon as you start the program. With the RED notice, you given a warning to system problems, but the software can uncover a smorgasbord of problems with Windows, program files, and system configurations and settings. The first tab, offers a “1 Click” option which will cause the software to review and recommend changes to problems found in critical areas of Windows.
The Run Maintenance button will quickly fix every issue found during the 1 Click process with the message “your system has been successfully optimized upon completion.
Five tabs on the start up screen offers the end user even more fine tuning: Optimize system, Gain disk space, Fix problems and Customize Windows.
The Optimize tab presents options found in Windows to easily disable or uninstall programs, or maintenance task for the registry, and hard disk defragmentation.
Many novice computer users are unaware the effect of a shortage on hard disk space, except for not having a place to install their last purchase from their local computer retailer or download. What may look like a non needed file to the non techie, could be a critical file in Windows, and to delete it would cause a grown person into tears when messages like non system disk or unable to start Windows. The Gain disk space tab makes it easy and safe for the end user to reclaim storage.
Although TuneUp2011 is not a file recovery product, the Fix Common Problems tab has a nice feature to rescue files that have been deleted AFTER the recycle bin has been emptied. Usually, once dumped, it leaves the end user with no recourse to undo the process – until utilities likeTuneUp2011 and other file recovery programs are used.
Otherwise, the Fix Common Problems list everyday “oops” that can happen when the wrong option is selected when using Windows with display, task bar repositioning and invisibility, desktop missing icons and challenges with program installations.
Some extra features are Turbo mode and a file deletion standardization used by the federal government(DOD 5022) . This ensures that deleted/erases files cannot be recovered in the event the hard drive is stolen or becomes accessible to unauthorized persons. Turbo mode will disable programs and other system settings to increase the performance of the software and assist the computer with running at peak levels. It can be deactivated at anytime if the changes need a reversal.
