Overview of All Functions
To the right of the categories, you will see the Overview of all functions. This lists all the functions that are avail-
able in TuneUp Utilities - clearly sorted by application area.
The three PC optimization modes
In the PC optimization mode area, you can decide which mode should be turned on for your Windows oper-
ating system. There are three switches here: one for Economy Mode, one for Standard Mode and one for Turbo
Mode. Click the relevant switch to turn a mode on. Following installation, Standard Mode is turned on by
default.
Economy Mode
You can use TuneUp Economy Mode at any time to save energy on your computer and reduce your electricity
costs.
TuneUp Economy Mode is an intelligent module of TuneUp Utilities for saving energy. TuneUp Economy
Mode provides immediate energy saving whenever you need it. When you switch your computer to Economy
Mode, it reduces the energy used by hardware and the tasks, programs and features that are running in the back-
ground and not strictly necessary. They are turned off, which can reduce energy consumption considerably.
For more information about this, see Economy Mode, p. 22
Standard Mode
In Standard Mode all functions of TuneUp Utilities are available without restriction.
Turbo Mode
You can use TuneUp Turbo Mode to give your system an additional performance boost at any time and adjust it
to suit you.
TuneUp Turbo Mode provides an immediate performance boost whenever you need it. When you put your com-
puter into Turbo Mode, an analysis is performed to see which of those programs and functions currently run-
ning in the background are not strictly necessary. These programs are stopped or slowed down, allowing the
additional processing power gained to be used exclusively by the programs you are actually running.
For more information about this, see Turbo Mode, p. 16
Optimization Status
The Optimization Status is your personal indicator of optimization progress, i.e. it shows you how well you are
already using TuneUp Utilities and where there is still potential to optimize your system further. The Opti-
mization Status shows you details of both the Completed optimizations and the potential you have exploited.
The Optimization Status also helps you to recognize the remaining Unused potential and make use of it.
