Tuneup Utilities 2013 - 1 PC - OEM

Pros: Seems to work very well, tried on win7 and win8. Both did fine. Had an inexpensive new laptop with all kinds of crud ware on it (Acer, were talking about you), and the utilities did a nice job of disabling the stuff I could not uninstall. Turned a sluggish NEW machine into a very usable one. Quite happy.

Cons: Has a one check button, that includes a check of the disk fragmentation - that particular check takes forever. Think they should make that optional on the one click check up button.

Other Thoughts: Shop around and get it cheap. I know you can find it for under $20, and it's well worth that price.

Pros: Came bundled with Acronis True Image 2013, so essentially got it for free. OEM version, so just a DVD package and product key, no manual. Still, super easy to install and intuitively easy to use and customize. It found LOADS of things to optimize on my system, which it performed flawlessly. In fact, it cleaned and defragmented the Windows registry -- something that I would never attempt myself. That sort of scratches an itch I've had for a long time with this system. I really like the interface, and how easy it is to use (1-click maintenance, or full blown menu options).

Cons: I guess they could have PAID me to use it, but that's pretty far fetched. For free, bundled software, I'm super pleased with the results.

Other Thoughts: To me, it matters not whether AVG wrote the code themselves, hired someone to write the code for them, or bought the rights to code that was written by someone not affiliated with AVG. Bottom line is: the code works, and it is improving the performance of my computer. For that I'm quite happy. And Newegg rocks.

Pros: Used previous versions for few years. Just upgraded to 2013. The best program for optimizing your computer and its performance! If you know your computer well, just spend one time 10-15 minutes to go manually via all the settings and you will be greatly rewarded! :) But this program also does great job with fast automatic recommended settings too!

Cons: None.

Pros: What a beauty! My 4 year old XP was hanging up on internet pages and applications more and more. I tried all sorts of things to fix it, mostly from the internet. Nada.

Got this little gem on one of those lunatic daily specials (or was it shell shocker specials - you know). Loaded seemlessly and what a difference in my computer's performance. And here all along I thought it was me!! Worth the try.

Cons: none so far

Pros: I have past experience with this software and it should be good.

Cons: Problem is the product key that came with the cd is invalid.
Such a huge waste of time. And i was so excited about this. Oh well.

Pros: Easy to set up and works very well. It contains many tools to help speed up your system or customize it.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I've been using Tuneup Utilities for at least 5 years and this is one of my favorite utilities. I use it on almost every system I work on or build. So I must say that this is a great utility for any system and well worth the price.

In reference to the person that took off 3 eggs, saying that this isn't AVG software, he is wrong. Tuneup Utilities was purchased by AVG over a year ago. Tuneup utilities is the full license version that allows you to use it indefinitely until you decide to purchase and upgrade to a newer version. The other version is called AVG PC Tuneup which is the subscription base version of Tuneup Utilities that you need to renew every year or so to be able to keep using it.

I hope this information helps

Pros: This one of a few PC tune up software that I would consider buying, given that there is equivalent free software that can virtually do the same thing.

I've used this program since my first copy in 2005 and have been recommending it to average PC users since.

Newegg had this program on a shell shocker for 9.99 (limit 3), along with a previous promo code that I was able use, I purchased 3 copies for a total of 11.99.

Cons: none

Pros: Speeds up the slowest computers.
Easy to use.
Great software, great functions.
Love the thorough defrag.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Someone said this is a "knock off" in another review, this is in no way a "knock off". Its great software, personally I like it better than the "AVG" branded one, easier to use and much more user friendly.

Pros: Ease of use.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I work on systems and have my own shop and I've been using Tuneup Utilities for at least 5 years now. I use it quite often to clean up systems I get in to work on. I do recommend this software.

Now, in reply to the person (Evo80ci) that took off 3 eggs for thinking this program isn't put out by AVG. It is, AVG actually purchased Tuneup Utilities a year or so back...so they do own it. They release it under two different names with different licenses. Tuneup Utilities, in which the license is good until you purchase a new release of the software (no license expiration), and the other is AVG PC Tuneup in which the license is subscription based (expires after the license time is up).

I do hope this helps.

Pros: Excellent software that are able to resolve many issues automatically.

Cons: Too much automation. I some of the automated tuning functions that are running in the background could be disabled...

Other Thoughts: This is exactly the same as Tune-Up Utilities. AVG bought Tune-Up Utilities in 2011, and then re-branded the product to be AVG PC-Tune up. But, they still sell both versions, even if they are identical.
