TuneUp Utilities

Does anyone have any experience with this software (TuneUp Utilities). Will it help with software lockups or sluggish system operation? Thanks.

That set of utilities has excellent reviews and it has a free trial you can download : http://www.tune-up.com/
As to whether or not it will help with your problems, I don't know.
I would need to know more about them the just lock-ups and sluggish and I would need to know when last you scanned for spyware and the like.

I run Zone Alarm and it deletes all the spyware as it runs. I've noticed the sluggish performance after some games from MSN game zone were downloaded. Thanks.

It sounds like you may have a program related to those games that's continuing to run in the background.
It's not necessarily spyware but it is something you should check.
If that's the problem TuneUp isn't going to help.

I run Tuneup Utilities. I think it's a fantastic program.
It allows you to clean any fragmented registry references and also defrag them.
It can also optimize your internet settings and visuals for performance.
Heck, there's so much it can do for you I suggest you try the 30 day trial. The 1-click maintence feature is now my best friend
