Version: TuneUp Utilities 2006 5.0.2331
Pros: I have downloaded and tested every registry utility Download.com has to offer. In my opinion ,TuneUp Utilities is the best one out there. It is a registry repairer, a cleaner, an optimizer, a startup manager, and many other features, and scans super fast. I wasn't kidding when I said I tested them all,(56) total, and TuneUp Utilities is my favorite, of the 12 I've kept. The trial version has all the features of the paid version, which I really love. Some of the others ,I had to purchase before they would be of any use. I highly recommend Tunep Utilities to keep your pc running fast and error free. 5 Stars and TWO thumbs UP!

"Program is good - One or two registry features should be improved!"
Pros: This is a very stable user friendly program that offers a variety of useful options! Deleted items can be easily restored from the "RescueCenter" if things go wrong!
While there are many similar products on the market, this is undoubtedly one of the better ones in terms of features and ease of use.
I also find that the program does not use much memory which for me is important as my computer is a slow Pentium 3 800mhz with OS Windows 98SE...
Cons: To me 5 star = faultless. My reason for not offering 4/5 stars is mainly regarding the important registry search, which I feel can and should be improved:-
1.)Experienced users will be disappointed that there is no ability to be selective about what items are deleted in "Tune up Registry Cleaner"! After a search there should be a list, which you can tick remove all, or be selective! This won't be of importance to beginners.
I feel this is a shortcoming that needs to be addressed, as deleting registry items is a very important feature of the program! Those with a good knowledge of the registry will want this as an option.
2.) Re the number of "rubbish" registry items found by Tune up Registry Cleaner, the detection rate is ok, but in my opinion not as good as some others, especially one or two registry cleaners like Registry First Aid, (although in fairness to Tune up Utilities, RFA is a specialist registry cleaner, so perhaps comparing the two is unfair, in that Tuneup Utilities offers a wider range of facilities)!

"This is the best if you know what to do!"
Pros: This is actually better than any other optmizer/tuner out there. I've tried countless softwares, and the one I liked the most was Ashampoo WinOptmizer Platinum Suite 2, but this is actually better, since the other one has less features and language problems. This has all the great features, even an memory optmizer.
Cons: If you don't know which regkey and system file shouldn't be deleted, don't even touch it. Otherwise, this program gives full expert tools.
