TuneUp Program Deactivator

Fully automated!

Improve Performance and Battery Life

Massive performance loss and unbearable slowdowns don’t just occur on ancient Windows® XP machines. As a matter of fact, they oftentimes hit even the fastest Windows® 7 laptops and desktops around. But not anymore!

TuneUp Utilities™ 2012 takes your PC to the next performance level, guaranteeing lightning-fast application load times and extended battery life that can endure even the longest trips.

TuneUp Program Deactivator

Fully automated!

Studies show that 50% of all users have approximately 66 programs installed on their PCs, even though they only use a fraction of them regularly. What many don’t know, however, is that programs continue to run in the background whether they are used or not, slowing your computer down considerably for no good reason.

The new Full Automatic Mode in TuneUp Program Deactivator™ eliminates these unnecessary slowdowns and makes sure your PC always operates at its peak performance. But relevant programs such as antivirus software or drivers will not be deactivated.

  • Start-Stop Mode automatically turns off selected programs when you don't need them, speeding up your surfing, working, and gaming [NEW!]
  • Optimized PC / Windows® performance
  • Faster boot speeds, applications and gaming

It’s the only way to get your PC running like it did the day you bought it.

TuneUp Economy Mode

NEW!

Does your laptop battery keep dying far too quickly? Does your desktop use up way too much power?

TuneUp Utilities™ 2012 puts an end to these problems with the all-new TuneUp Economy Mode which prolongs the battery life on your laptop, netbook, and tablet PC. It’s like upgrading your Windows® for a fraction of the cost.

The results speak for themselves! TuneUp Economy Mode guarantees significantly improved battery life and power consumption. So what’s behind the magic?

  • Reduced processor power consumption: TuneUp Economy Mode reduces your processors’ performance and optimizes their power consumption for maximum battery life and sufficient power for basic, everyday use.
  • Great power savings for your devices: TuneUp Economy Mode reduces the power consumption of many built-in and connected devices.
  • Turn off energy-sapping programs: TuneUp Economy Mode switches off unnecessary background processes that slow PC performance down.

TuneUp Economy Mode increases your PC’s mobility and saves you money by drastically reducing its energy consumption.

Turbo Mode

Our enhanced Turbo Mode turns off more than 70 invisible features in Windows® 7, Windows Vista® and Windows® XP to boost PC performance. It’s simply the best tool out there for serious users who need above-average performance when designing, video editing, gaming, or programming.

Turbo Mode shuts down all non-essential Windows® services such as Media Player sharing, pen recognition, or remote assistance processes to give you the fastest PC performance possible.

Want to know what’s slowing your PC down? Simply check out the Turbo Mode wizard that lets you choose which of your 70 features you need and which are simply wasting precious resources.

TuneUp Live Optimization

You want full speed, high responsiveness, and zero loading times whether your PC is busy or not. Live Optimization delivers on all counts with technology that works silently in the background and improves the prioritization process of all running applications. A nifty algorithm observes the computer’s total usage in real time, allowing it to balance resources more effectively. Programs start faster and application performance speeds increase – even if other processes are trying to slow your PC down.

Simply put, TuneUp Live Optimization focuses your PC’s power on what you’re doing and not on what a program is doing in the background.

The results?

  • Program start faster
  • Performance of running programs increases

Disable startup programs

Startup programs place a heavy burden on your PC’s startup time. That’s why TuneUp Startup Manager, part of TuneUp Utilities™ 2012, detects and helps you eliminate unwanted startup programs that use up resources and slow things down to a crawl.

Thanks to a new rating system and thousands of detailed descriptions, you will immediately be able to tell if you need one of these startup entries. And if you’re still running into unknown programs, TuneUp Startup Manager lets you do a quick online search so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.

Accelerate system startup and shutdown

StartUp Optimizer jump starts your PC by identifying unnecessary startup programs and services, as well as incorrect system settings.

Follow its recommendations and eliminate any process or setting that clogs up your Windows® boot or shutdown speeds.

With TuneUp Startup Optimizer you don't need to wait for Windows® anymore. You can instantly use your computer after switching it on.

Defragment hard disk

Data fragmentation is one of the root causes of slowdowns and a major source of damage to mechanical hard disks. That’s why TuneUp Drive Defrag restores perfect order to your hard drive while speeding up file access, boot times, and program launches.

Our engineers have crafted two methods for defragmenting: the “fast” method, which puts scattered data back together, and the “thorough” method which puts frequently used files at the beginning of the mechanical drive to boost daily performance.

New in TuneUp Utilities™ 2012: TuneUp Drive Defrag recognizes modern Solid State Disks (SSD) automatically and excludes them from defragmentation. This increases the life-time of your SSD.

Take Care of Your PC and Data Clutter

The perfect PC cleanup in less than 5 minutes? Now it’s easier than ever thanks to TuneUp Utilities™ 2012 which removes thousands of megabytes of Windows® clutter while refreshing your registry and deleting massive disk space hogs. The all-in-one maintenance of TuneUp Utilities™ 2012 makes sure your PC becomes cleaner and faster than ever before.

1-Click-Maintenance & Automatic Maintenance

TuneUp Utilities™ 2012’s maintenance feature eliminates system-hogging data clutter and prevents the typical “Windows slowdown” effect. It includes the following critical maintenance areas:

  • Clean registry: Solves registry problems and deletes dead keys or values such as startup entries that a 3rd party application forgot to delete, which could lead to problems during startup. It also gets rid of invalid file type pointers and orphaned entries within the list of installed applications which could lead to problems when installing or uninstalling applications.
  • Defragment registry: Performs complete registry restructuring and gets rid of all gaps. This leads to fewer problems when accessing the database, as well as an improvement in overall performance.
  • Remove broken shortcuts: Checks and deletes dead shortcuts found inside users Start Menu, desktop, quick launch toolbar, history lists, and 3rd party applications.
  • Delete temporary files: TuneUp Utilities™ searches for a wide array of temporary files and leftovers from Windows® applications, such as temporary Internet files, data inside Windows’® own temp folder, and temporary user account data.
  • Optimize startup and shutdown: TuneUp Utilities™ stops the startup of applications that are not needed immediately upon system startup.
  • Defragment hard disk:TuneUp Drive Defrag optimizes your file system and moves oft-used files to the hard disk’s faster inner sectors for reduced access times. In 2012, TuneUp Drive Defrag detects Solid State Disks (SSDs) and helps users prevent unnecessary and potentially harmful defragmentation. Defragmentation will not be performed automatically on SSD drives during Automatic Maintenance and One-Click Maintenance.

It’s easy to see that even the most advanced Windows® experts would find these tasks impossible to perform. Which is why TuneUp Utilities™ 2012 takes care of all of these critical system areas on a regularly scheduled basis. And it also makes sure it doesn’t interrupt your workflow or operate while your laptop runs on its battery.

Clean hard disk

Windows® and several 3rd party programs don’t take the steps necessary to cover up traces and wipe temporary files. These files don’t just consume precious disk space; they may also contain personal information that shouldn’t fall into the wrong hands. Not to mention the fact that Windows® slows to a crawl and certain programs won’t even start once your hard drive’s full.

TuneUp Utilities™ deletes all kinds of junk data that is automatically left over by Windows®:

  • Crash reports ("memory dump"): Windows® produces memory dumps containing relevant analytical information every time your PC crashes. In some cases, it’s your own personal information that’s being analyzed.
  • Windows® error reports: Windows® generates a report whenever a program crashes that contains information regarding the nature of the crash.
  • Log files: Windows® and 3rd party programs often use protocols to record their operation which clog up your hard disk.
  • Temporary internet files: cached browsing data.
  • Temporary system files: Windows® and various other programs create temporary files to cache their current operations. These files can contain personal information which might not be deleted once that operation is done. TuneUp Utilities™ 2012 weekly Automatic Maintenance makes sure to clean out those temporary files on a regular basis.
  • Old backups: This includes restoration points and Windows Update backups that may not be needed anymore.

And it’s not just user and system clutter we get rid of. There are also massive program files such as cached maps in Google Earth™ or long-forgotten backups from Windows® updates to get rid of, which can free up plenty of gigabytes of disk space, making your PC good as new.

Uninstall unneeded programs

TuneUp Uninstall Manager helps identify those programs that are rarely used or never used at all. Such programs are removed quickly and easily, freeing up numerous gigabytes of disk space.

Our online search provides additional help if you have trouble recognizing some of the more cryptic program titles.

Defragment, Clean and Edit the Registry

TuneUp Registry Cleaner

Over the course of a computer’s lifetime, hundreds of entries (“values” and “keys”) are written to the registry database only to be removed once again. That happens thousands of times daily and leads to values and keys referring to files, file types, applications, folders, or startup programs that no longer exist. The result: huge errors in Windows®, not to mention debilitating system crashes. TuneUp Registry Cleaner solves all these problems by detecting and fixing registry errors such as:

  • Startup entries that a 3rd party application forgot to delete, which could lead to problems during startup
  • Invalid file type pointers, which could lead to problems while opening files
  • Orphaned entries within the list of installed applications, which could lead to trouble when installing or uninstalling

As with all our tools, reliability always comes first. TuneUp Registry Cleaner only cleans those entries which are no longer required by Windows® or the user's programs.

TuneUp Registry Defrag

Your registry inevitably ends up being full of “gaps” upon cleaning, or simply using your PC. Over time, the Windows® registry continues to grow and grow (see Microsoft source on the right). TuneUp Registry Defrag performs complete registry restructuring and gets rid of all the gaps. This leads to fewer problems when accessing the database, as well as overall improved performance.

Edit the registry

TuneUp Utilities™ 2012 supports PC professionals with Windows® registry edits. TuneUp Registry Editor is more comprehensive and easier to use than Windows® own registry editor "regedit". It includes an easy-to-use search function, as well as an intuitive “Favorites” function that makes it simple to edit permissions. It’s foolproof, too, as unwanted changes can be easily corrected in the TuneUp Rescue Center.

Find and Delete Large Amounts of Data

TuneUp Disk Space Explorer analyzes both internal and external hard drives and returns a graphical overview detailing what type of data is taking up the most disk space. It also identifies your PC’s top 10 resource hogs, and shows which of your folders contain the most data like:

  • High-resolution photos or RAW photo footage
  • Downloaded shows and movies
  • Apps and smartphone backup files which are automatically created during PC to smartphone synchronization
  • Game data such as texture, sound, and map files
  • Virtual machines and virtual hard disks
  • ISO files

Hunting down these files is an incredibly difficult and time-consuming task. With TuneUp Disk Space Explorer, users can easily locate such massive data in no time. It lists the hundred largest files on your hard drive, allowing you to go through them quickly and delete whatever you no longer need. You can also use TuneUp Shredder which removes the data from your system once and for all.

Remove Broken Shortcuts

Everyone’s desktop and start menu eventually becomes cluttered with dead shortcuts and empty folders.

TuneUp Shortcut Cleaner turns chaos into order by removing unnecessary shortcuts on your desktop, in your start menu, and in “recently used” lists like songs played in Media Player or documents in Microsoft Office that were deleted a long time ago.

Restore and Secure-Wipe Files

Keeping your data private and secure is crucial. TuneUp Utilities™ top three tools enable you to restore accidentally deleted files, clean out data traces from your hard disk, and securely wipe sensitive files in order to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.
