Computer Shopper magazine reviewed TuneUp Utilities 2009 and gave it a score of 8 out of 10.
[3] It commended TuneUp Registry Cleaner as well as the hard-drive-related components of the product. However, it also noted that some tools are superficially implemented. The software lacks an
antivirus and
personal firewall.
[3] TuneUp Utilities 2009 was voted #37 of "The Top 100 Products of 2009" by Computer Shopper readers and was named "Best Utility Suite" by the editors.

CNET reviewed TuneUp Utilities 2009 and gave it 5 stars out of 5. “To call TuneUp Utilities 2009 useful would drastically understate the situation,” said Seth Rosenblatt, an associate editor with CNET. He said TuneUp Utilities was a powerful and easy-to-use set of tools, with its disk cleanup and registry cleaner being the “bread-and-butter” of the suite. [5]
PC World's Preston Gralla reviewed the 2010 version and commented that TuneUp Utilities is a comprehensive suite that “includes everything from a startup optimizer to a defragmenter, from an overall speed optimizer to a Windows Registry cleaner, and more.” However, he said that the high price of the entire suite ($50) might make a purchase decision more difficult. [6] Preston had also previously reviewed TuneUp Utilities 2009 for PC Advisor and gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 stars. [7]
PC Magazine reviewed TuneUp Utilities 2011 and gave it a score of 4 out of 5. “Overall, the software does a fine job of revitalizing a worn PC," commented Jeffrey L. Wilson, a PC Magazine software analyst. He appreciated the product's one-click repair feature and the subsequent reduction in his test PC's boot-time. However, Wilson criticized the software license that only permits installation on up to three PCs. [8] In comparison, a competing product called Iolo System Mechanic 10, allows an unlimited number of installations in the same household. [8] This was changed in later versions of Tuneup, which now offers unlimited licenses for each household. [9]
TuneUp Utilities received a Softpedia Pick award from Softpedia. [10] Although Softpedia editor Alex Muradin expressed concern about the lack of proper technical support for TuneUp Utilities 2006, he gave the product a final score of 5 out of 5. However, he gave this product a subscore of 3 out of 5 for pricing/value. [11]
Author Christian Immler characterizes TuneUp Utilities as a classic amongst tuning tools. [12] CNET reviewed TuneUp Utilities 2015 and gave it a score of 3.5 out of 5. “AVG PC TuneUp is a well-designed and effective tool that mostly accomplishes what it claims. Its advantage lies in its streamlined user flow and one-click-friendly design," said Eddie Cho, a tech editor and producer for CNET. [13]
