   3 Stars for the new version because:
   
   -Startup manager is no longer there, at least I can't find it, in the older version you could see a list of startup programs, enable, disable or add to them.
   
   -There is a process running in the background claiming that it will increase performance while it uses itself memory to do so, how ironic!
   
   For the rest it's a good product.

   This was probably released because the 2009 vrsion didn't work on Windows 7. If I was still using Vista or XP I wouldn't bother.
   I have had no problem with registry cleaning except in the case of 1 program which also other reg cleaners erased the same entries, but TU Utilitiest can be set to ignore registry entries

   TuneUp Utilities 2010 is still a 5 star program, but updating from 2009 was disappinting. Admittedly, I have not examined each individual module in detail, but an overview reveals nothing to merit a major version upgrade. The only signifigant difference appears to be the Integrator face lift which offers no advantage over 2009. As for the new turbo mode, I really see no real value in this feature.
   
   This version also adds a new service, which makes a grand total of five! Setting the service to Manual helps, but it continues to run after the program is exited. A scheduled task was also added even though all automated features are disabled.
   
   IMO this is a minor update at best; not a $30 major upgrade. This version will co-exist with TU 2009, so test driving the 30 day trial is highly recommended.

   I just tried the brand new 2010 release in my Windows 7 Ultimate RTM x64. I have to say that there are lots of changes if you compare the suite to the previous years releases. But I have to admit that I still find it to be very unreliable. The registry cleaning and defragmenting tools have proved to be very dangerous in the past releases and I see that the core registry apps look exactly the same as in the 2009 and previous editions.
   I've tried jv16 2008 and 2009 and I find it also to be very unreliable.
   For me, there are a couple of nice suites: Ace Utilities (still waiting for a Windows 7 revamp) and Raxco's PerfectSpeed 2.0. I have yet to see any damages from these two.
   Sooo... In conclusion, I give it a 4 for the innovative tools but just a 2 for the unreliability.

   One of the best programs of it type! Just a bit expensive.
