Keep your PC in good shape with various tools that clean junk files, repair registries, remove applications or even bring back deleted files
Written by Mircea Dragomir
Going through an uninstallation process does not always get the job properly done. Most of the times files with no further use are left behind and registries can get broken or invalid. However, there are specially designed applications like TuneUp Utilities that help you clean the computer for a little extra boost in performance.
A quick and easy cleaning process
Right from the start, the application undergoes a “1-Click Maintenance” to scan several areas of your PC for errors. Your registries, broken shortcuts, programs, browsers, as well as the status of your hard disk drive are but a few of the areas put under the scope.
It is not mandatory to go through the process mentioned above, with the possibility to cancel it, but it is recommended that you don't, seeing how there's nothing to lose but junk files. Once issues are detected, you gain access to a list that points out the problem and what file is causing it. Depending on your system's health status, the scan and clean procedures can take a few seconds up to several minutes.
Cleverly organized interface
When finally reaching the main window, you find all available tools cleverly stored in tabs. The dashboard offers brief details on your PC performance, health and maintenance level, with the possibility to trigger actions or switch between economy, standard or turbo mode.
Tabs that follow give you the possibility to manage startup programs or uninstall them, fix registries, and even have your hard disk drive cleaned for a little extra free space, with the cleanup potential showing you how much you can gain back.
Have known issues fixed
What's more, you can fix known system issues by choosing from a list of available possibilities that include important icons no longer being displayed, desktop and taskbar not working, installer related issues and a lot more. In addition, you can bring back deleted files from nearly any storage device connected to your computer, given it is not strongly damaged.
Schedule cleaning processes
Advanced users will also feel at home using this applications, as there is a great number of highly configurable options. All available functions can be viewed and accessed from the “All Functions” tab. Furthermore, nearly all of them can further be customized from the settings menu. Here you can also set the application to automatically keep your computer clean while you're away, for instance.
In conclusion
On an ending note, TuneUp Utilities deserves, by far, to sit at the winners table, not only for the amount of tools it provides, but also for efficiency. Nearly all areas can be customized to suit various needs, and the way this is made available lets both beginners and experienced users quickly get accommodated. Don't hesitate to give it a try whether or not your PC shows signs of weakness.

Avast! Free Antivirus 9.0.2021 Free Version Download
This year's Avast release has distinguished itself as not just a malware or antivirus solution, but also as a full-on security monitor for your machine. It comes with great design, displaying a lot of information yet maintaining a high usability factor for the core feature of virus removal and malware scanning. Avast has created value beyond the security scanner, and this version is a huge leap over last year's Avast 8. We expect its protection scores to continue to increase as protection scores
Avast Free Antivirus 2014 continues our legacy. The entire avast! 2014 family includes a DynaGen-powered intelligent antivirus that streams micro-updates to your computer in real time, to catch new malware faster. Plus, you can fix current problems instantly, without uninstalling a previous antivirus. And it even has high-tech options like Remote Assistance.
What's new in this version:
- Fixed connection issues from Java applets
- Fixed issues with Security Center registration
- Fixed problems with non english languages in RescueDisk
- GUI fixes
- Firewall fixes
- Fixed issues with WinDVD and SQL connectors
- Fixed issue with non-refreshing Metro apps in Win 8.1
Design: Avast's new layout is a unique and clean take on managing security. Rather than copying a flat Metro look like so many others, Avast organizes its environment and prioritizes it in a sensible manner. Flat icons and subtle menu animations look great, secondary pop-out menus don't feel cluttered, and the toggle icon also helps create a cleaner experience.
Security: An improved firewall, noninvasive scanning, and a complementary, crowdsourced, whitelisting approach via Community IQ keeps this security suite on alert for untrustworthy sites and phishing scams. A noninvasive browser add-on protects your Web usage with built-in do not track integration and selective blockers for analytical and social trackers.
Utility: Avast represents itself as more of a security manager than just a conventional scanner. This version includes a command center-like dashboard for tracking security statistics, pop-up notifiers for system status and security news, a multidevice manager, and a streamlined upgrade pipeline via in-app store.
Small disclosure: Installing certain components like browser plug-ins, useful though they may be, can also be viewed as an unwanted surprise. The installer gives you options to install various components but throws a lot of information and component offers to users at once without much to go by.
Varied performance: According to a previous protection report from August, Avast scored higher than the average scanner but still behind many of the top performers. The added browser plug-in, though great when it works, sometimes became sluggish when we tested out some sites with heavier analytic trackers.
Information overload: Global and personal stats are great to see, but are they really useful for the average user? Even an advanced technician can really get only so much value out of numbers without any real numerical or unit-based indication of what they represent. Perhaps a market researcher may get more use out of this.
