Many of the modules(including registry cleaner) are malfunctioning. To me it is useless. Should’ve gone for the winutilities giveaway…

I was wondering how many have tried this software to clean up and have seen improvements in performance. I am not having any issues with my computer except that for the past few months I am not able to put it to Standby/Hibernate, I always have to shut down. And while booting up after I log in, it loads the auto run softwares and it gets stuck in the middle at which point the whole system is kind of frozen and I cannot do anything. After a couple of minutes or so it comes back and everything works. This adds very annoying two minutes on the start up time which is long as is. So not being able to put to Standby/Hibernate and then the long two minute stall at power up is really frustrating.

I was wondering if something like this can help me. I have already tried to disable many auto run softwares, but it just continues to do the delay at the startup. I am scared of fiddling with the registries though. Do you know how often the system gets screwed up because of the softwares like this? Just wondering what are my chances of losing everything while trying to make it better :0

I’m with Ashraf; TrueCrypt is absolutely free, as in free beer. It’s a snap to use, and is ideal for applications such as protecting USB drives.

To those having trouble downloading or installing TU2008, all I can say is that by following the instructions, both the download and the installation and activation went sm-o-o-o-th like butta for me.

I’d been trialing WinOptmimizer 6, but it is glacially slow, so I was happy to come across this alternative. Thanks!

@Steelers6: TrueCrypt = too expensive? It is free! As for locking down your computer: yes I have the exact software that you need. I have been planning to write about it for a while now. Watch for a new post on it.

Thanks, this worked out great. I also thank you for your honest and fair reporting on the software given at GOTD. I saw some took issue with you using Good and Bad, well too bad for them. At least you follow thru and give great feedback. If I had money right now I’d make a donation, lets hope my job works out and I certainly will.

Wonder if you can tell me the best program to password protect my USB and allow it to lock down my computer too. I looked at TrueCrypt, too expensive plus I have vista 64. Axcrypt doesn’t seem to offer this.

Thanks again keep the good work coming we need people like you on GOTD.

How does TuneUp Utilities compare to Perfect Utilities?
