Type: Potentially Unwanted Application

Win Tuneup Pro

Win Tuneup Pro is rather similar to a potentially unwanted program called Reg TuneUp. As our researchers say, the application is most likely a newer version of it or to be more precise, a recently created clone. Consequently, it falls under the same category of potentially unwanted programs. Just like the previous version, Win Tuneup Pro is promoted as a powerful PC optimizer on its official website where you can download the free version or buy a full one. However, our research shows the software’s usefulness is rather doubtful and purchasing such a suspicious application might be a waste of money. If you continue reading the text, we will explain you better why the software cannot be trusted and may not meet your expectations. Of course, users who want to remove it immediately could simply slide below and follow the provided deletion instructions.

The potentially unwanted program is advertised on its official website (wintuneuppro.com). The tool’s developers claim to have the Microsoft Partner Gold Application Development competency title, but we believe it is only a false claim made to make Win Tuneup Pro look more trustworthy for possible users. In the application’s Privacy Policy, End User License Agreement, and other documents the tool’s publishers call themselves WinTuneupPro.com. Unfortunately, WinTuneupPro.com does not seem to be in the Microsoft partners’ list. We believe such misinformation could have been done on purpose; thus, we do not think it would be wise to trust these publishers or anything else they say about their products.

Furthermore, the software’s website describes Win Tuneup Pro as an advanced tool that can locate and fix Registry errors, efficiently speed up the computer’s performance, make the system more stable, etc. Because of what we found out while researching the application we doubt it can improve the PC’s overall performance so drastically. According to our researchers who tested the potentially unwanted program, it mainly detects Registry entries with missing files. In other words, the identified errors could be just empty entries with no data. They might be left by the software that was uninstalled some time ago. Perhaps, removing such data from the Windows Registry would clean it up, but we doubt it could have such a significant change to the computer’s performance.

What’s more, as you may already know, the free version of Win Tuneup Pro allows fixing only fifteen errors. Apparently, if you want to erase the rest of them, you have to buy the full version. The software alone seems to cost $59.95, but currently, it is offered for $39 together with possibly another doubtful application called PhotoStudio. The proposal might look like an excellent opportunity to get the tool for the smaller price, but given its questionable benefits, it would not be wise to pay such money. If you want to purchase a useful program, we would advise you to invest in a reliable antimalware tool that could help you stay away from applications like Win Tuneup Pro or even more dangerous threats in the future.

As for users who do not intend to buy the full version, there is no use to keep the free version on the system. Especially if you already used up the free fifteen fixes. The tool might even become too annoying as it might launch itself automatically without asking and keep suggesting you purchase the full version. Our researchers also noticed that if you try to uninstall it through Control Panel, the potentially unwanted program keeps showing pop-ups offering to buy the Win Tuneup Pro’s full version. Since it might be difficult to close such pop-ups, we would advise you to erase the threat manually as it is explained in the instructions located below. Users could also get rid of it by employing a legitimate antimalware tool. If you have other questions related to the application, you could leave a comment below or write us through social media.
