Software License Giveaway: TuneUp Utilities 2010
Folks, I am pleased to announce my latest software license giveaway drawing.
The folks at TuneUp Utilities have generously donated five licenses to me, to award to my readers. I sincerely thank them for that. So I am going to do a random drawing¹ contest from folks who “enter” by posting a comment (below) or by sending an e-mail. The drawing will be held next week, and the winners announced Friday, so act now.
TuneUp Utilities is a program for optimizing your computer and improving its performance. I have been testing it for a while now. Below, I will give you my impressions and some screenshots, but first…
CNet’s Seth Rosenblatt (see, Tech Paul’s Friend of the Internet Surfer Award for December) says:
“To call TuneUp Utilities 2009 useful would drastically understate the situation. The app provides users with a powerful, well-designed utility that accesses the entire Windows maintenance tool set and more in a fast, organized, and easy-to-use series of connected modules…
The system-analyzing wizard, with its thorough reporting and upgrade suggestions, is worth the program price alone. Between the guts of steel and the stylish, logically arranged interface, TuneUp Utilities suits all users–from complete beginners who will appreciate the one-click optimization to more daring users who will experiment with all the settings.”
Publisher’s description
From TuneUp Distribution :
“TuneUp Utilities Version 2010. Enjoy Your PC: fast, stable, customized. Have more fun with your computer without all the hassles thanks to your new PC assistant. Work faster and get a better gaming experience. Now compatible with Windows 7.”
Here is a “slideshow” of screenshots of TuneUp Utilities.
As you can see, TuneUp Utilities is in the System Tray, as it is always running, and thus always performing those tasks (such as defrag) which keep a system “tuned up”. I found it safe. And I found it easy enough for beginners and that it also had neat goodies (tweaks) for the Power User too. As you may have noticed, it found a security issues, and offered a 1-click fix. But instead of reinventing the wheel, I will refer you to Bill Mullins’ comprehensive review, TuneUp Utilities 2010 – Is It Worth The Money?
How to enter? To enter the drawing, simply click on “comment”, and enter a name and valid e-mail (so I can send you the key) in the form. Actually commenting is optional. And, I shouldn’t have to say this, but multiple entries will result in disqualification.
The license can be used on up to three PC’s.
Again, I thank the folks at TuneUp Utilities for making this giveaway possible. A 30-day free trial of TuneUp Utilities can be downloaded here. Try it out yourself. (And then leave a comment. You may just win an activation key..)
¹ All entrants will be placed into Random.org’s “randomizer”, and the top 5 results will be the winners.

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
