The problem with Windows is after using it for a couple of months, you would notice that the performance starts to degrade and it’s not as fast as when you first got the computer or reinstalled a clean Windows. This is when software such as TuneUp Utilities comes to play. If you haven’t heard of TuneUp Utilities, it is one of the popular and leading software to keep your PC in top shape for beginners and amateurs. In fact they have been around since 1997 which is 14 years ago! Some of the alternatives are IObit Advanced SystemCare, Uniblue PowerSuite, Glary Utilities, Norton Utilities, iolo System Mechanic and etc…

These software suite that manage, maintain, optimize, configure and troubleshoot a computer system is mainly targeted for beginners or amateurs because most computer experts would prefer to tweak their own system to the way they prefer because they know how to do it and willing to take the risk. TuneUp Corporation is currently running a promotion where everyone can request for a a free TuneUp Utilities 2011 product key that normally cost $49.95 which works on Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.


Just follow the few simple steps below:

1. Visit http://www.tune-up.com/promo/007

2. Enter a working email address, anything for retailer, random characters and finally click the Get Product Key button.

3. Check your email that you specified at step 2 and you should received an email from TuneUp Promotion. Click on the link and your TuneUp Utilities 2011 product key is displayed.

TuneUp Utilities 2011 contains a lot of features and I suggest you to visit their official feature page for a more detailed explanation.

The download link that is on the product key page links to an older build of TuneUp Utilities 2011 Version 10.0.3000.101. The latest version is now version 10.0.4400.20 but not to worry on that since you can click on Help & Support > Check for updates to update TuneUp Utilities to the latest version. When TuneUp Utilities 2012 is released, which I expect it to happen very soon, you can’t update for free and will have to pay $29.95 for the major version upgrade. Now you know why TuneUp Corporation is having this promotion…

In my opinion, if you want to use these software, make sure you read the description to every setting before blindly clicking on it hoping that it would improve your PC’s performance. One example is you won’t be able to print if the software disabled the printer spooler service.
