PC Tune-UP
Page 2
Spyware and malware is often loaded onto computers as ActiveX control commands and using a blocking program or other means to deter invalid or harmful ActiveX controls from access to your computer does not always work. PC Tune-Up takes an offensive stance against these controls from being added to your computer by adding entries into your registry to compare the good ActiveX Commands with the bad ones.
Whether this works is hard to tell but they are adding more entries to your registry so I am not sure if I really like this feature. I like to keep the extra things in my computer such as registry entries and startup programs to a minimum to keep my computer running at top speed. The addition of these might be a benefit to someone who is not as knowledgeable about computer security and does not want to hassle with other protections against ActiveX attacks.
PC Tune-Up does a great job of getting rid of old stuff in your registry and I had almost no problems using it over the last two weeks except for one. I was trying to run a routine scan and when it got to the scan of checking Windows/MSDOS Program Shortcuts it froze up and starting acting funny. I tried several remedies like uninstalling and reinstalling the program but the same errors happened.
I ran a complete scan with WinASO’s Registry Optimizer and found a few problems that cleared up the problem with PC Tune-Up but I do not know what happened. This is probably not that big a deal but with some other things I found the program does not work as well as the company says on their web site.
PC Tune-Up is a handy and easy to use registry and system cleaner and performance booster that has all the necessary features needed for making your registry cleaner and working better. I am not sure if the problems I had were due to my computer or the program but I think the program does work fairly well regardless of the one problem I had. PC Tune-Up comes with the complete registry defragment and cleanup features and does a good job of cleaning out and optimizing your registry for you.
The addition of extra entries into your registry is not one I really like and the problems with the checking of for shortcuts never was explained to my satisfaction but overall the program worked well. For a complete all in one PC Tune-Up this worked pretty well, check it out from Large Software.
