TuneUp Utilities 2008
What is TuneUp Utilities 2008?
TuneUp Utilities is a utility software suite for Microsoft Windows designed to help manage, maintain, optimize, configure and troubleshoot a computer system. The Status and recommendations category houses four sub-sections: 1-Click Maintenance, Performance Optimizer, Fix Problems and Live Optimization. The 1-Click Maintenance section runs multiple routine maintenance tools at once. The Performance Optimizer and Fix Problems utilities are intended to provide tips to identify and fix potential problems and increase performance, such as disabling unnecessary visual effects and disabling or removing unused Windows services and programs. Live Optimization, according to the application's author, is intended to improve the responsiveness of Windows applications by tweaking their execution priorities. The Turbo Mode, accessible from the bottom of Start Center, gives system a performance boost by temporarily disabling some of Windows services and features of user's choice, such as Windows Aero themes and visual effects. The Economy Mode accessible from the bottom of Start Center, gives system a more battery power to save by reducing background programmes and CPU power to saves battery. Incorporates two more components: TuneUp Drive Defrag (the defragmentation tool) and TuneUp Repair Wizard (the troubleshooting tool). TuneUp Utilities 2008 no longer has a separate disk cleanup component; the disk cleanup function has become part of the Start Center, under a new Gain disk space section.
