The Advanced PC Tuneup software is developed by Jawego Partners LLC, which are behind riskware such as PC Protector Plus and Secure PC Cleaner. Jawego Partners LLC promotes their Advanced PC Tuneup at Advancedpctuneup.com as an advanced tool to streamline and optimize the Windows OS. Advanced PC Tuneup is said to support the Windows OS versions as far back as Windows XP and includes Windows 10. The words used by Jawego Partners LLC to describe their product are:
'Advanced PC Tuneup is one of the best registry cleaners that removes all Windows Registry errors, and optimizes your system for the best performance.'
Logs have shown that the company had problems with previous system optimizers and you may want to take a step back and reconsider installing Advanced PC Tuneup. Advanced PC Tuneup claims to speed up systems by removing bad Registry entries, but evidence suggests that the boost is not as significant as you may be lead to believe. Microsoft does not encourage users to make modifications to the Registry since users could degrade the productivity of their OS. Jawego Partners LLC boasts having a 'Microsoft Partner Gold Application Development' license but that is not true, and you can go to Partner.microsoft.com to see for yourself. Moreover, Advanced PC Tuneup may show fake Registry errors to convince users to purchase a commercial license and fix the errors found. Jawego Partners LLC urges users to buy Advanced PC Tuneup along with Photo Studio and Disk Tools Plus, which do not have official pages, and there is no actual information what they do and how they look.
Licenses for Advanced PC Tuneup are offered as a bundle for three and five computers and range from $40 to $83. Built-in Windows tools support most operations available with the Advanced PC Tuneup, and you may want to save your money considering that you already paid for a valid Windows license. The services offered by Jawego Partners LLC with Advanced PC Tuneup may not be worth $80 and their baseless claim to be a certified Microsoft developer may be enough to convince you to keep your money. The Advanced PC Tuneup software is flagged by AV vendors as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and you might see the following alerts:
- HEUR/QVM06.1.0000.Malware.Gen
- PUP.Advanced PC Tuneup
- PUP.Optional.Jawego
- Program.Unwanted.1679
- Win32.Application.Systweak.D
- Win32/Jawego.C
