TuneUp Utilities 2010 keeps Windows XP, Vista and 7 clean, disables unnecessary programs and gives you the best system performance. This program would be good for anyone who is working on computer repair training.
More than 12 years of Windows optimization experience has gone into developing the software. One of the key updates to the 2010 version is its compatibility with Windows 7. Unbeknownst to most users, Windows 7 installs a lot of unnecessary files that slow down your PC. TuneUp Utilities is able to clean up all the clutter – maximizing the new operating system’s performance. The 2010 version also supports the 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista.
Other updated key features include:
TuneUp Turbo Mode – allows users to temporarily disable unnecessary background processes – with a single click – to reduce program interruptions and increase frames per second (FPS) in games.
TuneUp Live Optimization – monitors and prevents background programs from using up too much of the PC’s resources, and improving programs’ startup and response times, even when the computer is bogged down with a number of applications running simultaneously.
Automatic Maintenance – starts only when the PC is not being actively used, so programs are not slowed down or interrupted. Saving and increasing battery life, the tool will not start if laptops and netbooks are being run on battery power.
Redesigned Start Center – This immediately shows users any problems or bottlenecks, such as pend-ing optimization tasks that need to be performed. It provides users with access to individual features, while giving them an overview of the PC’s health. The redesigned Start Center is even easier to use. The previous version of TuneUp Utilities had seven categories. In TuneUp Utilities 2010, this has been reduced to four sections that give users faster access to optimization and customization features.
