"The BEST of all the registry cleaners!"
Pros: 5 stars are not enough for TuneUp Utilities 2006. No other utility even comes close to all the features TuneUp Utilities has. The price is right and you even get a 30 day FULL function free trial to try all the features! I highly recommend you try this great software program and give it 5 stars and two thumbs way up!

Version: TuneUp Utilities 2006 5.0.2331
Pros: Has an excellent range of useful tools. I will be specific as I feel they are all very different and needing of their own reviews: 'System control' & 'system optimizer' are jammed full of tweaks and options and I found it to be very useful in customizing and fixing up Windows beyond the usual options. 'Start up manager' and 'process manager' are pretty much your standard windows options simplified, made prettier and with more advice - nice touch. 'System information' is a good extension of your standard info given by the control panel. 'Styler' is a great way to change any and all of the icons throughout windows, packs available for download are very cool too. 'Disk cleaner' is excellent for removing temp files, cache, etc, and pretty much as good as most of the popular disk cleaning programs. 'Registry cleaner' & 'registry defrag' are absolutely excellent, very advanced, ability to deep scan and churn up hundreds of errors and repair them for you. 'Mem optimizer' is excellent, fast and actually does prompt improvements in the system (can get you from 7mb of free RAM to 128mb in about 30 seconds). Overall the interface is good looking and easy to use, the tools are easy to get to and work with, and version 2006 is definitely faster than version 2004 with less chance of freezing and a little less memory usage.
Cons: The uninstall manager is completely awful and barely loadable. It is just incredibly buggy and useless. A rather sad let down to the program. Some options appear more than once throughout the utilities and this can be confusing and frustrating if like me you like things in software organized, categorized and neatly ordered.

Version: TuneUp Utilities 2006 5.0.2331
Pros: Nice interface.Took me about 15 minutes to configure all the tools and settings.Found over 1000 reg errors.I did a full system clean up.I have been looking for weeks to find a good all in one tool.Now I have found it.There are too many tools within TuneUp Utilities to mention.It'll keep you busy for a while (in a good way).
Cons: Not much really except the uninstall manager takes ages to load up and the complete clean/defrag etc, didnt speed my pc up one bit.
