Deactivate Programs Automatically
Studies show that 50% of all users have approximately 66 programs installed on their PCs, even though they only use a fraction of them regularly. What many don’t know, however, is that programs continue to run in the background whether they are used or not, slowing your computer down considerably for no good reason.

The new Full Automatic Mode in TuneUp Program Deactivator™ eliminates these unnecessary slowdowns and makes sure your PC always operates at its peak performance. But relevant programs such as antivirus software or drivers will not be deactivated.

• Optimized PC / Windows® performance
• Faster boot speeds, applications and gaming

It’s the only way to get your PC running like it did the day you bought it.

Data fragmentation is one of the root causes of slowdowns and a major source of damage to mechanical hard disks. That’s why TuneUp Drive Defrag restores perfect order to your hard drive while speeding up file access, boot times, and program launches.
Our engineers have crafted two methods for defragmenting: the “fast” method, which puts scattered data back together, and the “thorough” method which puts frequently used files at the beginning of the mechanical drive to boost daily performance.
New in TuneUp Utilities™ 2012: TuneUp Drive Defrag recognizes modern Solid State Disks (SSD) automatically and excludes them from defragmentation. This increases the life-time of your SSD.
