PC Tune-Up(TM) 2.0 Releases New Version of Its Popular Software -- Now Optimized for Latest Windows Service Packs

Software Breathes New Life Into Old and New Computers Alike -- Making Computers Run Faster While Preventing Freezing and Crashing

SAN DIEGO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/03/08 -- Large Software (www.largesoftware.com), a provider of easy-to-use consumer software, today announced that their popular PC Tune-Up(TM) 2.0 software is compatible with the newly released Microsoft Service Packs for the Windows XP (SP3) and Windows Vista (SP1) platforms. With today's larger storage capacities, people are using their computers to archive larger numbers of important documents so it is more essential than ever to actively protect home and office systems to keep them running at peak efficiency.

"Everyone loves how fast and efficient their computers are when they first bring them home," said Nick Forcier, CEO of Large Software. "Our goal with PC Tune-Up is to give consumers a simple and affordable way to return their systems to this pristine and optimized condition. We've taken all the guess work and hassle out of keeping your computer running like it did when you first bought it."

PC Tune-Up 2.0 brings a user's computer back to life by removing the items that cause crashing, slow speeds, freezing, and that can impact the overall health and efficiency of the computer. A perfect tool for novice users and experts alike, PC Tune-Up will improve a computer's speed and reliability -- all with one easy download.

Unlike competing tools that lack the ability to protect against ActiveX dangers, check for invalid files or schedule regular and automated checkups, PC Tune-Up does all of this and more:

-- System and Registry Backup - does a complete backup of users' files and provides a restore point to undo any changes. -- Smart Scan - enables users to do a quick scan of main files or a smart scan of all drives, then provides a list of errors with brief descriptions and recommended fixes. -- Automatic Repairs - fixes all of the problems detected or users can select individual errors for manual repair. -- Complete Defrag - safely removes unnecessary files that slow a user's computer and reorganizes Windows registry to run more efficiently. -- Magic Button - runs all four critical steps automatically so users can optimize their computers with the click of a single button. -- Optimizing Tools - includes a Startup Wizard and Memory Optimizer to make your computer boot faster. -- ActiveX Protection - ActiveX applications are usually installed through a user's Web browser and there is no easy way to remove them. By inserting specific wordvalues within the registry called "Compatibility Flags" PC Tune-Up(TM) blocks any harmful ActiveX programs from installing.

Why do computers need a tune-up on a regular basis?

The Windows registry is an essential database for each computer that stores settings and options for the Microsoft Windows operating system. It contains information for all the hardware, software, and preferences settings on the computer. Whenever changes are made to the control panel settings, system policies, or software, the changes are reflected and stored in the registry.

Because the registry is so huge and complicated, it can develop troubles that cause strange problems or even bring a PC to a grinding halt. The longer Windows is used, the more cluttered the registry can grow, especially if software is regularly installed and uninstalled.

The easiest way for a Windows user to clean their registry is to use PC Tune-Up. With the click of a button, PC Tune-Up will scan the registry for these fragmented files, bring them together, and safely remove them.
