TuneUp Utilities 2012 New Enhanced Features

March 28, 2012 - PRLog -- The TuneUp Utilities 2012 was released with new and enhanced features to boost the overall performance of computers and, thereby, indirectly increasing the productivity of computer users.

First released in 1997, then theTuneUp 97, TuneUp Utilities has continued to evolve to match computer users’ needs. It hasn’t become a favorite tool for PC optimization for no good reason. In fact, it boasts in its over 30 tools which can help computer users in various ways and can meet their different needs especially on PC optimization.

The current version, TuneUp Utilities 2012, retains most of the previous version’s features. Aside from some enhanced tools, it also has some new features. The most significant addition in this version is the TuneUp Economy Mode.

The TuneUp Economy Mode enables users to decrease costs on energy expenditure by increasing the battery life of mobile PCs like laptops and netbooks. With this tool, the authors claim up to 30% improvement in PCs’ battery life. It definitely doesn’t eliminate the need to charge the mobile PCs once their batteries are drained out, but it allows users to use them for a longer time when they are unplugged. This maybe useful while working outdoors, when there’s a blackout, and when users are in similar instances where they don’t have an access to a power socket to plug their mobile PC into.

This doesn’t mean, however, that TuneUp Economy Mode is not needed for desktops or when the mobile PC is plugged into a socket. The Economy Mode cuts costs on energy expenditure by preventing unnecessary energy consumption. This tool is helpful in reducing the processors’ performance and optimizing their battery consumption for maximum battery life and sufficient power daily use. It also lowers the power consumption of many built-in and connected devices.  Moreover, it turns off unnecessary programs and tasks running on the background as one uses his or her computer. Once the TuneUp Economy Mode is activated, all non-essential background processes are switched off. All hese functions lead to a significantly lower energy consumption.

The 2012 version also prides in the enhanced TuneUp Program Deactivator which now has an automatic function. Many users are not aware of unnecessary programs running on their computer’s background at startup, runtime and shutdown. These programs continue to run at the background whether they are being used or not. The result is that the computer slows down significantly. Once enabled, TuneUp Program Deactivator automatically gets rid of the unnecessary slowdowns by disabling unnecessary programs. Additionally, when these programs are needed, they are automatically re-enabled. Thus, users expect a boost in their computer’s speed and performance. At the same time, they’re kept safe from malwares as the tool doesn’t disable essential software like anti-virus programs.

Other features added in the current 2012 version are the new Utilities Settings Center, the new-look Start Center and the improved “Overview of all functions.”
Clicking on “Settings” opens the Utilities Setting Center on a new window, where you can find and adjust settings for all the key functions and modules of TuneUp Utilities. With the new-look interface, users will find it easier to use the software. Moreover, the important optimization functions—Economy Mode, Program Deactivator, and Automatic Maintenance—are brought together in a one place for easier access. Clicking on “Overview of all functions” leads the user to the 32 tools he or she can use for PC Optimization.

Overall, the TuneUp Utilities 2012 brings to the table essential new developments for PC optimization.
