Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/22/2011 -- What:When PC users boot up their systems and get nothing but a black screen, they know something is wrong and will probably try a variety of steps to get their computers running again. But what if these don't help? Users might be looking at nasty malware infections that messed with the systems' boot files. In this situation, it's time to take Microsoft's System Sweeper for a spin.

Microsoft's System Sweeper is a bootable recovery environment that cleans viruses, rootkits and other malware infections from systems without users having to boot into Windows. It works on essentially all PCs with a FAT32 or NTFS file system, so users should even be able to get Windows XP or 2000 PCs back into shape.

On its blog, TuneUp explains how PC users can run System Sweeper to get rid of malware in no time. The company provides users with step-by-step instructions on how to run the software and burn a bootable System Sweeper CD (or put it on a bootable USB thumb drive) to get their machines up and running again.

Who:Any PC user with Windows 7, Vista, XP or 2000 who is looking to quickly get rid of malware. The tips are easily understood by anyone, regardless of technical background.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/29/2011 -- What: Mechanical hard disks have ruled for ages in the PC industry, but their reign has recently started to come to an end. Today, people are increasingly adopting the faster, more energy-efficient solid state drives (SSDs). Their speedy boot times, decreasing prices and overall performance make them a nice buy; however, SSDs require special care in order to keep them performing well.

On its blog, TuneUp has compiled four steps that will help users to optimize their SSD drives. In order to get the most performance out of their devices, TuneUp recommends that users upgrade to Windows 7, ensure that the TRIM command is enabled, avoid defragmenting their solid state disks and should even consider disabling SuperFetch, Prefetch, ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive. By following these steps, users will be able to maintain the performance of their SSD drives and prolong their lifespans.

Who: Any PC user that is interested in learning about how to optimize an SSD drive. The tips are easily understood by anyone, regardless of technical background.

PC Optimization Specialist Provides PC Users with Tips to Get Windows Update Working Properly

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) --05/23/2011 -- TuneUp protects users from PC problems, while helping them increase the performance and security of their computers. Since 1997, the TuneUp brand has produced best in class, high-quality products. In order to maintain high standards without being bound to patents, licences and third-party suppliers, TuneUp develops all of its solutions in-house. This, in addition to keeping close contact with customers and incorporating their feedback, enables TuneUp to continuously grow as a company, as well as design products that meet customers' needs.

What: Windows Update helps keep Windows fast, reliable and secure; however, update issues are among the most common problems plaguing PC users today. To avoid frustration, some users will ignore Windows Update, but this can be very dangerous—without these updates, they may be open to security vulnerabilities. Issues with Windows Update occur because updating a PC involves replacing hundreds of files, and the process depends on dozens of built-in Windows components. If one of these components is defective, disabled or not set up properly, Windows Update and Service Pack installations will fail.

On its blog, TuneUp has compiled several troubleshooting tips to help users get Windows Update running smoothly again. The company explains how to use Microsoft's Fix It solution and easily fix multiple issues at once. TuneUp also outlines how to install the latest "System Update Readiness Tool" for Windows Vista and 7, and explains how running the troubleshooting wizard in TuneUp Utilities 2011 can help users solve their PC problems.

Who: Any PC user with Windows 7, Vista or XP who is looking to solve issues with Windows Update or a Service Pack installation. The tips are easily understood by anyone, regardless of technical background.

Media alert for TuneUp Corporation's PC live optimization

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/29/2011 -- What: Every PC and laptop can be bogged down by – sometimes invisible – background programs regardless of processor power, amount of main memory or operating system in use. Having too many resource-intensive programs open or running in the background is one reason why a PC will become sluggish, why program startups suffer and why even simple tasks take much longer than they should.

TuneUp Live Optimization helps users with this problem by preventing background programs from high-jacking the PC. It monitors PC usage in real-time and uses two intelligent algorithms to increase response rate and startup speed of your active programs. Live Optimization takes care of balancing processor power more efficiently, allowing users' active programs to get the highest priority while less important applications remain in the background.

On its blog, TuneUp offers advice on how to tackle the impact of slowing caused by high PC usage with Live Optimization.

TuneUp explains how much of an effect this issue has on a PC, what causes it and what users can do to prevent this from happening.

Who: Any PC user with Windows 7, Vista or XP who is looking to increase PC performance and speed. The tips are easily understood by anyone, regardless of technical background.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/03/2011 -- MEDIA ALERT
Since PC users want their computers to be secure without being slowed down, antivirus companies have recently made an effort to communicate their products' low footprints and minimal impact on PC speed. To find out if this is true and to see how security programs actually affect PC performance, TuneUp decided to test a number of popular antivirus programs and security suites. TuneUp explains the reasons for and methods behind conducting its benchmarks, and shares the antivirus products' performance results on the company's blog at http://www.blog.tune-up.com. You will be surprised to see how much of an effect some modern antivirus products have on a PC's boot time and overall productivity.

What: PC users need an antivirus solution in order to secure their computers; however, these programs have been known to slow down Windows PCs—leaving users to struggle with noticeably longer boot-up processes, less responsive workflows, slower gameplay and even stuttering media playback performance, among other things.

Who: Any PC user who is looking to find out how security programs impact a computers' performance. The benchmarks are easily understood by anyone, regardless of technical background.

Where: TuneUp provides detailed performance tests, helpful screenshots and benchmark results at blog.tune-up.com. All of the information is free, and readers can post their own experiences directly on the blog to help their peers.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/18/2011 -- What: Many PC users understand that the more software installed on their computers, the slower the systems will get; however, they are often hesitant about uninstalling programs that might be needed at a later time.

Whenever users need the programs again, they can easily turn them back on. This feature prevents having to uninstall and reinstall programs, and empowers PC users to avoid system performance losses caused by having too many programs installed.

On its blog, TuneUp offers a behind-the-scenes look at why and how the company created TuneUp Program Deactivator. The company also explains why TuneUp Program Deactivator is beneficial for PC users, and reveals the results of several benchmark tests, to show how this feature can help bring new life to PCs that have been bogged down from having too many programs installed.

Who: Any PC user with Windows 7, Vista or XP who is looking to increase system performance without completely uninstalling programs. The tips are easily understood by anyone, regardless of technical background.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/05/2010 -- What: The Aero Peek feature allows Windows 7 users to hide all of their open windows and switch back to their desktops by simply swiping the mouse in the lower-right corner and clicking blindly. This is perfect for those times when PC users have emails or browser windows open that they do not want anyone else to see.

Since this feature is not available on Windows XP or Vista, users have to target the "Show Desktop" icon in order to minimize all of their visible windows. However, there is a way for XP and Vista users to experience the same comfort and speed Windows 7 users enjoy when minimizing windows. A free tool called WinShake allows users to replicate the Aero Peek feature of Windows 7. PC optimization specialist TuneUp provides detailed information on how to download and use this program.

Who: Any PC user with Windows XP or Vista, who is looking for a way to install the Aero Peek feature that Windows 7 offers. The tips are easily understood by anyone, regardless of their technical background.

Where: TuneUp provides a guide on how to download and install WinShake along with helpful screenshots at blog.tune-up.com. All of the information is free, and readers can post their own experiences directly on the blog to help their peers.
