Pros

Used to be a good program. You buy it once and that is it.

Cons

Now since AVG" took care of Tuneup", you pay annually to USE a software that you used to buy once for life. They don't give support for older versions and just want you to pay 60 or more annually and try to push their own anti-virus program. They lost a costumer and my recommendation to any to of my friends. AVG is a mercenary company. I quit using any program that has their name on it. Lost the trust.

Summary

If I buy something I BUY only ONCE.

Pros

Used to work well.

Cons

It's been hobbled to force good customers like myself to buy the newest version. They want to train us to the yearly renewal cycle. I've bought a dozen copies of this software over the years and really liked it. The company was sold to AVG who's in it for the cash, however, and I can no longer recommend it.

Summary

AVG has ruined TuneUp Utilities.

Pros

I know its not really a virus but it doesn't do the job. It takes up space and runs a program, that is the only PRO

Cons

near impossible to uninstall and slows things down and is packaged with other updates that are bloatware and lead to bad things

Summary

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT AT ALL EVER!!!!

Pros

Cleans temporary and back up data and cleans windows installer directory and windows update patches, but while it is installed your Windows is a nightmare, all you want to do is get rid of i. Complicated interface, settings and usage.

Cons

Don't even download TuneUp Utilities '13/'14/'15, this specific version, this piece of excrement will set your Windows 7 System Protection to 50% and and create and 1.87GB file in the 'System Volume Information' directory, all OK the thing is you can't NEVER disabled it, if you had it disabled like me, it'll be enabled; Windows gives you the option to eliminate the file and change the setting to 1% but after about 15 seconds, it'll be back to that setting, 50% and 1.87 GB file, TuneUp NEVER ASKS if you want this and THERE IS NO SETTING CONTROLLING THIS SHIT, uninstalling won't solve anything, you need to reinstall WIn 7 like I'm about to thanks to AVG A-holes.

Also many programs even when I have 'Application Deactivation' disabled looks like TuneUp tries to disabled Mozilla SeaMonkey and other programs while they're running and crash them annoyingly often, sometimes even Win 7 programs won't work like the Uninstall Wizard (appwiz.cpl)or Windows+Pause key combo.

Summary

DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND NEVER USE THIS CRAP!

Pros

The 'Pros' is: there are other software solutions out there - don't get within a barge-pole length of Tune-Up if you have any sense!

Cons

I had this installed on two laptops and having checked a hard drive with which I had no problems with, my BIOS could no longer detect my hard drive. I spent TEN WEEKS and over £200 in phone calls to the USA trying - pleading - for help and was continually stone-walled! DO NOT TAKE A CHANCE, it;s not worth having to replace your hard drive or spend hundreds of pounds getting no help!

Summary

I HOPE TUNE-UP CRASHES AS MY HARD DRIVE DID OH AND WITHOUT BEING SLANDEROUS - AS IT'S THE TRUTH, THEY LIE!

"Disk error scan makes your computer unusable"

"Disk error scan makes your computer unusable"

jkirk1626 August 01, 2014  /  Version: TuneUp Utilities 2014 14.0.1000.340

Pros

Its utilities are mostly functional and effective.

Cons

A scan for had drive errors remained stuck at 10% for 10 hours. The computer was unusable during this time. Powering off and restarting had no result without a recovery CD. TuneUp Utilities provides no warning of making your computer useless for 10 hours; it provides no warning that you will be unable to terminate the scan.

This is inexcusable and borders on the tort of conversion.

Summary

Enjoy TuneUp Utilities leaving your computer stuck at 10% for >10 hours with the message: "scanning and repairing drive C:"

Search for "TuneUp Utilities" and you'll find results replete with customers reporting TuneUp Utilities' hard drive error scans leaving customers' computers stuck at some percentage and never recovering. AVG's response is that it's a Windows issue not a TuneUp Utilities issue. Really? Way to give an enormous FU to your customers. Worse, incompetent illiterate techs are telling people to do procedures on PCs while those PCs are stuck on AVG's software.

However good and effective TuneUp Utilities' other functions, this oversight and dismissiveness of users should be a deal breaker.

"AVG owns Tune-Up now."

"AVG owns Tune-Up now."

Pros

I have used this program, with yearly updates, for many years. It used to be FANTASTIC.

Cons

AVG has "F" rating with Better Business Bureau. That is relevant because AVG now owns Tune-Up. Shortly after AVG bought the company, Tune-Up changed. INDEED, it seems that the company pushes updates that actually break one's purchased software, with the only solution being to buy the newest version. I'm serious.

Indeed, I just found that not only did "updates" break TU 2013, but TU 2012 also was broken when the very newest updates were applied.

This is, I think, criminal activity.

Summary

Avoid this product at all costs. Past performance means absolutely nothing. Take it from a long-time user.

If you have this program installed, DO NOT ALLOW ANY UPDATES.
