How to Disable Programs
Launch the TuneUp Program Deactivator™ module by going to the Optimize System category in the Start
Center and selecting Disable programs under Reduce system load.
Alternatively, you can start the module by going to Overview of all functions in the Start Center and selecting
the Disable entry under Installed programs.
The TuneUp Program Deactivator™ module uses TuneUp Programs-on-Demand Technology™, p. 42, which
reduces the load on your system and therefore increases system performance.
How to Disable Programs
1. Select a program in the list that has the status Enabled.
2. Disable the program using the switch in the status column or in the details area or click on the Disable but-
ton in the toolbar.
How to Enable Programs
1. Select a program in the list that has the status Disabled.
2. Enable the program using the switch in the status column or in the details area or click on the Enable button
in the toolbar.
How to Enable or Disable More than One Program
If you select more than one program at the same time, the possible action depends on the predominant status.
For example, if two selected programs are disabled and one is enabled, you can only enable the programs. How-
ever, with two enabled and one disabled program, you can only disable the programs.
Following the action, a window is shown in the display area to the left informing you of the result of your action.
Load Points - What Are They and How Are They Calculated?
The TuneUp Programs-on-Demand Technology™ calculates the load on your system based on an internal
points system. For this, TuneUp Utilities determines the background programs associated with each program,
i.e. the programs or services that were installed together with the actual program and are then continually run
without the user's knowledge, "stealing" processing power. The more background programs there are for a pro-
gram, the more this program burdens the computer. The TuneUp Programs-on-Demand Technology™ cal-
culates the amount of executed programs at different times: system startup, operation and shutdown. The
display in the Load column takes the highest of these three values.
