Sputtering, slow-moving and overall not running like it should be – sounds like it might be time for a tune-up. No, this isn't a description of a good-for-nothing car that breaks down at a moment's notice but rather a proclamation that is heard all too often when describing a laptop or desktop. Nothing is quite as frustrating as working hard on your PC but having your computer not reciprocating in full. TuneUp is a company that has dedicated a serious number of man hours to making your computer run smoothly, eliminating everything from a near-death battery to anything within your browser that could make the art of surfing the internet a crash-and-burn endeavor. Some of the more simple, albeit annoying, items that TuneUp tackles head on are limiting the number of programs as part of your start-up or making sure shutting down your computer isn't an all-day affair. In the long run, too, TuneUp – perhaps unlike your local mechanic when it comes to your car – saves you plenty of money in the long term when using their plethora of PC-enhancing products. Computer repair stores and even big-box retailers often charge hundreds of dollars to simply diagnose your PC problem, not even counting the pending hourly rate on top of a repair part, if needed. TuneUp offers plenty of analysis and troubleshooting options, including having the software with the wherewithal to fix a problem before having to endure a hefty repair bill. In addition to the multi-faceted, dimensional aspects of TuneUp, the company also allows you to download a test run of the software first and gives you two weeks to ultimately decide if you'd like to keep it. Sounds like a company that truly stands behind its mission statement: keeping PCs running quietly and smoothly – one TuneUp at a time.
