We need TuneUp Utilities or not ?

[ARG]

so , do we need TuneUp Utilities or software like that to maintain our system ?

 

[Airbot]

No.

Short and sweet....

No, coming from an ex-TuneUp user. TuneUp completely messed up my PC.

It causes more damage than fixes as advertised

Same answer I gave yesterday.

Can also lead to you posting in the Crashes and Debugging section "What happened to my system?"

Tweaked to death by registry damage.

So by all means yes. Use two or three. They must be all opened and run at the same time for the full effect.

Welcome to sevenforums first off.

The Windows Defragger and Disk Clean Up is more than sufficient to keep Windows 7 running at peak efficiency.

With XP some of the software such as CCleaner were of benefit with that OS.

They just aren't needed and many will cause registry errors instead of fixing them.
Most are sales gimmicks to get you to buy the retail version.

I went a little overboard about running 3 of them just to mess with ARG a bit.

It messed up my drive. Instead of defragmenting it, it fragmented it and also made it un-formatable to a great extent. Thought to give 2011 a try, it screwed up my icons right after the installation.

I don't require the use of any of these packages. As others have said and I agree with, many actually cause more problems than what they solve.

I use it for a three years,and nothing going wrong with my pc.

Better try it in a virtual machine..

no, you can do that with all the windows stuff - tuneup is like a shortcut to all of them
,also tuneup itself takes ram and slows the login.
hope that help.

OK thanks for the advise. I don't understand how the windows registry works very much. I just know it has program information and junk. I just assumed whatever tune up did to it would just help some how. I'm probably not use it on my new computer if anything because its always running in the background. I'm just try ccleaner. I just had the mind set of I could do anything to improve me system might as well.
