Solve : TuneUp Utilities?

Answer»

Hey everyone first review.

I got TuneUp Utilites 2009 after hearing about from a friends.
 
 Well I downloaded the trial version and used it until expired and I have to say it is amazing!

http://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities/

For 30$ I got so much out of it.

Here's what it included

It's a great tool for speeding up your PC.
IMHO, any tool, which includes monkeying with the registry is dangerous. Quote from: Broni on April 11, 2009, 06:38:10 PM

I've never gotten someone to explain this for me.

 I also stay away from Registry TOOLS but the utilities this product CONTAINS is wonderful to have and I recommend it to anyone.

EDIT: Broni can you explain why they are dangerous?The answer is pretty simple. Unless you're troubleshooting some PROBLEM, there is absolutely no business to touch the registry.
No gains earned, but one wrong move, and  a lot of pain is likely to happen.

Then, I can assure you, all other features are available for free, not for $30.
You can try to name one feature, and I'll show you a free tool, which will do very same thing. Quote from: Broni on April 11, 2009, 07:07:42 PM

I guess you're right

Give it a try Broni.I agree with Broni.

The registry is not something to be casually "tidied" or "cleaned", and you get no benefit from it. Assigning a cleaning method to ARBITRARY data means that at some point, your going to lose data that is needed.

Mark explains it a lot better then I do. And, you simply cannot argue with him- you haven't any ground to stand on.


And the other tools are available for free. There are free defragmenters, we have CCleaner- and half of those tools are available free as a SysInternals Util (or, at least the STARTUP manager, AutoRuns, which is probably far more full-featured as well).

There is one good thing that came from deleting things from my registry: NeverShowExt...

Search NeverShowExt and find out why you should remove it too...except you can do that manually- or even better, through a script. Quote from: Helpmeh on April 13, 2009, 05:53:18 PM

That's scary Quote from: Wefro_froyas on April 13, 2009, 07:05:31 PM
That's scary
Exactly, and there's a secondary benefit too! CMD doesn't recognize shortucts as Name.lnk until all of NeverShowExt are removed...(or until you delete the right one).

I think it's good for safety...I just realised how much damage a scrap file could do...CMD /c del "%userprofile%\My Documents\*.*"
*shudder*
Attached is an example (nothing bad will happen).
