Comodo PC TuneUp

When using a cleanup utility, you always need to be careful what data you delete. Although they don't erase critical files, most cleaners target everything that is temporary, without separating the good from the bad. Comodo PC TuneUp removes only junk files, eliminating any risk of deleting potentially good data. Even if it erases good files, it gives you the possibility of recovering the data. Furthermore, the software supports other operations, like repairing corrupt registry entries, finding and eliminating duplicate files and more.

Comodo PC TuneUp can be used free of charge, with a few limitations. Unlike other Comodo-developed programs, PC TuneUp comes in a small package, it can be installed in less than a minute and it doesn't require a system restart. It works on Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8 and it provides support for both 32 and 64-bit operating systems.

Simplicity is one of Comodo PC TuneUp's key features. Its sleek user interface presents three main options, for an overall system scan, accessing maintenance tools and getting professional help from Comodo's well known tech support service. If you start a system status scan, the software will look for issues related to critical Windows events, junk files, malware infections, registry and security errors. Additionally, the software can find startup optimization possibilities, during the same scan.

The miscellaneous maintenance utilities include a duplicate finder, a registry defragmenter and a force delete feature. You can set the built-in duplicate finder to look for duplicates on one or more partitions or in specific folders. You can also set it to look for duplicate media files or pictures or to look for duplicates, regardless of their format.

The registry defragger takes less than a minute to scan registry files. When the process is complete, you can schedule a defragmenting operation, with nothing more than a single click. The software will defragment the registry automatically, after a system restart. This means that you may focus on other tasks, without having to wait for a lengthy defragmentation process. Last but not least, Comodo PC TuneUp's force delete feature can be used to erase files, when the operating system prevents this action because the file is used by another process.
