Review of the New Features of TuneUp Utilities 2010

TuneUp Utilities 2010 keeps Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 clean, disables unnecessary programs and gives you the best system performance whether your computer  is used for work or play. More than 12 years of Windows optimization experience has gone into developing the software, and that is something one can sense right away. Find out how TuneUp Utilities 2010 can help both beginner and professional computer users optimize their PCs.

TuneUp has integrated several new features to make Windows optimization very easy for the you to use, and many of TuneUp Utilities’ trusted functions have been enhanced as well.

TuneUp Turbo Mode

With a single click, you can disable a number of background applications, such as various Windows services, complex search functions and scheduled maintenance tasks, in Windows XP, Vista and 7 that are not needed. This feature allows your computer to concentrate entirely on the running programs, which means users will see fewer interruptions, and gamers will enjoy more frames per second.

TuneUp Utilities 2010 has a Turbo Mode that you can customize to give your computer an immediate performance boost.  You can use the wizard to determine which functions and background tasks you can do without to increase computer performance.

TuneUp Live Optimization

This function automatically prevents background processes from taking up too much of the PC’s resources. TuneUp Live Optimization lowers the priority of resource-draining background applications.
This results in noticeably faster program startup and response times as well as greater speed and stability for users. Games can also run with more FPS.

You can use the TuneUp live optimization utility to increase the response rate of programs and to speed the startup of programs. 

Windows 7 Support

TuneUp Utilities 2010 offers complete support for Microsoft's new operating system in both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Automatic Maintenance

TuneUp Utilities 2010 automatically performs optimization tasks and ensures that the PCs run quickly and reliably—at all times.
The optimization processes regularly run in the background; this way, you can work or play on your computer, without having to worry about performing maintenance tasks. Automatic Maintenance only starts when PCs are not being actively used.
To save and prolong the battery life of laptops and netbooks, Automatic Maintenance will not start if the device is running on battery power.

Redesigned Start Center

This immediately shows you any problems or bottlenecks, such as pending 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.
