I don't agree - on my system where it works fine, it does a great job and its very convenient to have everything all in once place.
Definitely worth a try - I didn't disable the AV stuff before installation, so I'll give that a go.
Exactly.
Did you use 2010? How does it compare to 2011?
I have "1/3" of a three pc license to Tune Up Utility. Two work colleagues and I decided to purchase it and share the cost. I installed it on my backup pc but uninstalled it after a few days. Why? One of my work colleagues used it and unfortunately he deleted something that should not have been deleted. The result was that at startup he kept getting a message "NTDLR is missing". The problem was only solved by a clean install of his OS. All of his data, pics and music was lost.
It is highly likely that this deletion was NOT the fault of Tune Up Utility; he should have been more mindful of what he was deleting. My point in relating this is that even with software such as Tune Up Utility which has good reviews, things can go very wrong.
I will have to side with this camp.
I am not saying this way is better than the OP's. To me it comes down to desire, and what a user is comfortable with.
It still bothers me that SixString (SSJ) is having trouble getting this program to run when he or she knows that it ran once before on this particular machine, and my desire is to help him or her to return to that level of comfortableness in the use of this machine.

SSJ, you don't disable UAC when you install programs, do you?
Something to consider......
Source: What is UAC & Why You Should Never Turn it Off | Windows 7 TutorialsShould I Disable UAC When I Install My Applications & Turn It On Afterward ?
The biggest annoyance level for users is when you install Windows 7 and all your daily applications. At this time you can receive lots of UAC prompts and you might be tempted to disable it temporarily, while you install all your applications and enable it back when done. In some scenarios this can be a bad idea. Certain applications, which make lots of system changes can fail to work once you turn on UAC after their installation and they will work if you install them with UAC turned on. The failures happen because, when UAC is turned off, the virtualization techniques used by UAC for all applications are inactive. This causes certain user settings and files to be installed to a different place and no longer work when UAC is turned back on. To avoid these problems, it is better to have UAC turned on at all times.

Well said! This is a valid statement when using any form of "cleaner".
It is not my intention to have this thread turn into like the one I used as an example at DonationCoder, my reason for showing that link was :As I stated earlier:the OP mentions an .exe file crashing, but doesn't explain why.We are all different, you and me. And, it matters not to me your likes and dislikes.It still bothers me that SixString (SSJ) is having trouble getting this program to run when he or she knows that it ran once before
But, for a brief moment we have come together to solve a problem. That is what counts.
I used 2010 but i found quite a few bugs, if im not mistaking i had a similar problem to you, i downloaded the trial version of 2011 when it was realeased and was so inpressed with it i bought it.
i think 2011 version is the version 2010 should of been. like windows 7 is what
vista should of been. Give it a try you wont be disapointed.
If you use TuneUp Utilities or other tweaking suites, be sure to bookmark the Crashes & Debugging forum here now.

If you have TuneUp Utilities - be ready and do what Greg says.
If you want to free up your HDD space - then remove the crapware on your computer that you don't need. Simple.
If you want to speed up your RAM - upgrade your RAM. Simple.
Hard Drive Defrag - Windows has one and it is much better than use a third-party.
Registry Defrag - never modify registry keys unless you know what you are doing. If you modify incorrectly, it leads to inoperable computer.
Of course, you may have a TuneUp Utility and you run it for months - or even years. Get yourself ready.
