Which is better, WinUtilities 9.3 Pro or TuneUp Utilities 2010? I've been using TuneUp for awhile and it's quite good, does anyone who's used both or knows about both know which one's better?

@ RoseD1: Why?
Isn't it just a matter of taste?
I use none of these.Posted 14 years ago # -

MemberI personally prefer WinUtilities, but the best way to find out is to download it today, and compare.

MemberUpon testing, TuneUp is the clear winner. The one feature that WinUtilities has that TuneUp doesn't have is the .exe locker. TuneUp has a much greater variety of features and has proven that it works extremely well. Their new "Turbo Mode" feature and their support for Windows 7 visual styles makes them a clear number 1 in my mind.

Unregistered@ Dsep, you already got many useful suggestions.
Either way, I do not use Registry Cleaner and System Optimizers, in my opinion those kind of softwares can be really dangerous.
Have a glance here please

In my opinion CCleaner is enough and safe to use.
Piriform develops other free useful and well done programs, like Defraggler, Recuva and Speccyhttp://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds

Just download the slim version (with no toolbar) and use them when necessary

MemberI've used a number of them and was favorably impressed with WinUtils, especially with their Duplicate File Finder tool. A very useful tool that just doesn't appear in the other utility suites.
Based on comments here and on the daily DL page, I thought I would give Tune-Up a try. I downloaded and installed it but I won't even bother running it: The arrogance of the installation tells me that it is not worth the disk space it takes up. It installed without so much as a "by your leave" for any installation options such as where to install the program or links. Not since the early days of DOS have I seen such behavior.
I certainly do NOT want to put a utility suite in the default "Program Files" directory! This is "malware" in a different sense. And looking over the functionality of the suite on the web site it looks pretty minimal anyway. It also left over 100 trash entries in the registry when I uninstalled it.Posted 14 years ago # -

MemberArt Kns, to answer your comment about the "100 trash entries in the registry when I uninstalled it."
I recommend you download & install the "Revo Uninstaller" utility. This is an excellent program that I use to delete all other programs on my computer. Revo Uninstaller will give users the option of searching for (and finding) all other programs' registry entries, to ensure that everything is deleted from a user's PC.
Revo Uninstaller has worked very well for me every time I uninstalled a program.
Best,
