TuneUp announced that the latest version of its award-winning series of PC optimization software will be available at the end of October. The software manufacturer has integrated a number of new features, including full Windows 7 support, into TuneUp Utilities 2010, making PC maintenance more convenient for both novice and professional computer users.

TuneUp Utilities 2010 contains the new Turbo Mode to increase the performance of users' PCs. This allows consumers to switch off a large number of unnecessary background processes -- with a single click. The Live Optimization function is another addition to TuneUp Utilities. It helps improve programs' startup and response times, even when computers are bogged down with a number of applications running simultaneously. TuneUp Utilities 2010 also provides users with a concise Optimization Report, which outlines the Windows maintenance processes carried out and the problems that have been fixed. TuneUp has redesigned the Start Center; once the software program has been opened, this feature shows users in a clear and concise layout which optimization processes are necessary for their individual system.

New to this version of TuneUp Utilities is a gadget for Windows Vista and 7 that displays the PC's health on the desktop and allows direct access to optimization functions.

TuneUp Utilities 2010 will be available for $49.95. Users of previous software versions can upgrade to the latest one for a discounted price of $29.95.
