TuneUp Utilities 2012 extends PC battery life by up to 30 percent

MIAMI, USA: TuneUp Corp. announced that the 2012 version of its award-winning series of PC optimization software, TuneUp Utilities, is now available. The software gives Windows 7, Vista and XP users a dual performance boost with the new TuneUp Economy Mode and the enhanced TuneUp Program Deactivator.

With a single click, TuneUp Economy Mode extends the battery life of notebooks, netbooks and tablet PCs by up to 30 percent compared to Windows 7’s energy-saving mode, as well as reduces desktop PC energy consumption. Users can decide which resource-hungry devices or background activities they’d like to turn off to preserve power and reduce heat levels, increasing PCs’ and their hardware components’ life spans. Plus, TuneUp Economy Mode automatically switches on and off depending on the battery power being used.

At the same time, the TuneUp Program Deactivator allows users to select infrequently used programs to hibernate in order to conserve system resources, freeing up working memory and improving start-up times. Initially, users can disable the programs and the various services, start-up entries, background processes and scheduled tasks that go along with them. Then, when users wish to use a program in hibernation, the enhanced feature can automatically enable it, and after users are finished, TuneUp Program Deactivator puts the program back into sleep mode on the fly.

TuneUp Utilities 2012’s new start screen launches twice as fast as in previous versions. Plus, its new design enables PC users to easily switch between TuneUp Economy Mode and Turbo Mode, and the new Optimization Status layout clearly shows users what tuning measures have already been carried out on their PCs and what can still be done. The software’s key settings can also now be adjusted through a new, convenient, all-in-one dialogue process.

The latest version of TuneUp’s software includes more than 30 critical tuning features like 1-Click Maintenance, which solves registry problems, deletes orphaned program shortcuts, removes unnecessary data such as temporary files and defragments the hard disk. Automatic Maintenance also takes care of these tasks at set times when users are not actively working on their PCs or when notebooks are running on battery power. In addition, TuneUp Live Optimization intelligently prioritizes running processes, while Turbo Mode allows users to turn off 70 performance-sapping tasks with a single click.
