Reviewed by: CNET Staff
To call TuneUp Utilities 2007 useful would drastically understate the situation. The app provides users with a powerful, well-designed utility that accesses the entire Windows maintenance tool set and more in a fast, organized, and easy-to-use series of connected modules.
Temp file management, registry cleaners and start-up program controls are the bread-and-butter of these utilities, and these basics work in TuneUp more quickly and easily than most. However, the app also sports great add-on tools you don't usually see in a utility program. It offers a variety of Internet and program-acceleration tweaks as well as Windows performance enhancers. The crash-preventing MemOptimizer, a file shredder, deleted file recovery, and a respectable uninstall utility round out the suite. You even can automate maintenance tasks with the scheduler or tweak Windows' appearance with the styler tool. The built-in RescueCenter can restore all changes completely or one by one.
The only thing missing is a built-in hard drive defragger, but it seems petty to complain. The system-analyzing wizard, with its thorough reporting and upgrade suggestions, is worth the program price alone. Between the guts of steel and the stylish, logically arranged interface, TuneUp Utilities suits all users--from complete beginners who will appreciate the one-click optimization to more daring users who will experiment with all the settings.

Version: TuneUp Utilities 2008 7.0.7992
Pros: I definitely think this program is worth the amount you pay. I have just downloaded the trial version of TuneUp Utilities 2008, and it works beautifully. I used to use Ace Utilities and got sick of buying it, then moved to Glary Utilities (free), but ever since I found this one, it has been very useful. The registry cleaner is very accurate and so is the temporary files cleaner. There are so many categories and so many different tools you can work with to speed up your computer and/or protect or delete files. It also has an easy option for you to edit the way you want your Windows to style and function. I love this product, and I will be buying the full version very soon!
Cons: The only thing I didn't like about it was the font the program used and how it's 30MB+ in size. Although, I shouldn't complain because it has many tools, the font they used for the interface, in my opinion is a bit too sharp and really hurts my eyes (just like Windows Vista's font: Segoe UI), other than that, this product is amazing, and I do recommend it!

"The standart in windows computer care!"
Pros: Each new version adds features and continues to get better and better. This version
adds a disk defrag and themes for "Windows Vista". This is my third year with this program and I still love it.
Cons: Disk cleanup could have more options. But thats it!
