    Doesn't look like it does anything you can't do with a free registry cleaner lile CCleaner and knowledge of how to change windows settings.

    actually i use tune up utils.. nice little program, i also use CC cleaner... i find the both miss things, and using both of them ensures a more thorough cleaning.

    i paid for 2008 tho. so...

    good find tho.

    This isn't ONLY a registry cleaner. It has some other useful options as well, and since it's free I see no reason for you guys to complain. :)

    I wasn't complaining per se, just pointing out that it doesn't really do anything special besides organize your windows settings into a different menu and provide a registry cleaner, it's still free though which is a fair price but I definitely would never recommend paying $50 for it.

    It might be in your best interest to learn how to do these things without a "tune-up" program, so you can learn a little more about your OS.
