Everyone has heard of TuneUp Utilities, there is no need to introduce it. All I want to say is that everyone can get TuneUp Utilities 2010 (TuneUp Utilities 2011 costs $49.95, or $24.95 if you install it then uninstall it while it is in trial) for free!

@Ashraf:
You call THIS walking the line…

WARNING!!! I used the 2009 version automatic 1-click maintenance without problems. However the 2010 1-click maintenance caused major problems. If you install the 2010 version, IMMEDIATELY go to the maintenance section and disable at least the disk defragmenter. Personally, I disabled a lot more.
I cannot be sure, but I believe that the disk defragmenter:
1) Corrupted my GoBack program, probably by invading its hidden “safe” partition. It took hours to fix and I permanently lost some material.
2) Defragments even when there is very little fragmentation on the disk.
3) Is EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY slow.
@Stephen Cohen:
@ Stephen Cohen – no brainer: your harddisk is either corrupt OR your file system is due to too long no chckdsk.
Start elevated command prompt (cmd) and type:
chkdsk c: /f /v /x /r
Enter and reboot.
Then again elevated cmd,
chkdsk c: /f /v /x
Enter and reboot.
After that, again elevated cmd, this time you type
sfc /scannow
Then you can safely run TU 2010.
Good luck!
