Do you believe that your operating system requires optimization? If you do, Reg TuneUp might be a program you are interested in. We classify this seemingly helpful program as a potentially unwanted program, and it is our recommendation that you remove it from your PC immediately. After close examination and inspection, we have found that this PUP does not offer beneficial services, which means that paying for them is wasteful and unnecessary. Although you might be made to believe that you will gain a lot by investing in this program, that is not the truth. You also should not trust the claims to boost your computer’s performance and fix all registry errors. These claims are made via regtuneup.com, which is also the official download source. Whether you have downloaded the potentially unwanted program from its official site or some other source, we advise getting rid of it. This report shows how to delete Reg TuneUp.
Our research team has recently analyzed Reg TuneUp, and the first thing found was that this potentially unwanted program is identical to Advanced PC Tuneup, which is another PUP whose removal we have reviewed recently. Both of these programs have the same interface, and they work in the exact same manner. Our tests have shown that these potentially unwanted programs are capable of deleting the registry entries that do not actually slow down your operating system, and while it is not bad that the app erases them, the service is not really beneficial. Despite that, the creator Reg TuneUp is audacious enough to demand a fee for the useless services. Are you introduced to a discount when you are routed to a page representing the payment? This discount ($39.95 from $59.95) is permanent, and it is used only to lure you in. The reality is that the PUP is not worth any of your money. Another thing that the PUP uses to make you trust its services are the Microsoft credentials. Although it is stated that the app was “developed by Microsoft Partner,” that is not an indication that it is reliable.
Have you noticed the (855) 761-8856 number displayed on the download page, as well as the interface of Reg TuneUp? This number allegedly represents a toll-free helpline that you can call at any time of the day. Considering that the allegedly beneficial system optimizer is recognized as a PUP, you should limit your communication with its creators. At the end of the day, the objective behind the “technicians” who answer your call is only to convince you that your need the assistance of a full version tool. Just to put you at ease, you might be promised that 15 errors will be fixed completely for free, but, as we have already discussed, these errors are not critical, and you do not need an expensive tool to fix them. The best thing you can do is remove Reg TuneUp and, if you feel necessary, install a trustworthy and reliable registry cleaner.
When Reg TuneUp is installed onto your computer, it creates a folder in the %PROGRAMFILES(x86)% directory. The name of this folder is random, but it is created in the CLSID format, which should make it easier for you to identify it. If you are not sure if you are eliminating the right folder, check the contents to see if it contains the PUP-related files. Luckily, you do not actually need to waste your time looking for and eliminating files one by one. Instead, you can uninstall Reg TuneUp, and the removal guide below shows how to do that. Of course, if malware has corrupted your PC – and this might have happened if a malicious installer carrying hidden threats was used for the infiltration of the PUP – it is best to implement automated malware detection and removal software instead.
