The Reg TuneUp software is marketed as a reliable Registry cleaner that can remove bad Registry entries, which will result in an overall better computer performance. Reg TuneUp is developed by Jawego Partners LLC, which claims its product is equipped with an advanced scan engine that finds Registry errors and ensures smooth functionality of the computer. Computer users that run Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 can download Reg TuneUp at regtuneup.com and affiliated software distribution platforms. Reg TuneUp is offered with a trial period during which users can test the scan engine of Reg TuneUp and identify problems with their OSes.

You will need to head over to regtuneup.com and buy a commercial license if you want Reg TuneUp to fix problems on your PC. The license is priced at 39,95 USD/37.74 EUR and allows you to benefit from the complete set of features present in Reg TuneUp that include Registry scan, backup and scan scheduling. Moreover, you get an "award winning" image manipulation tool named Photostudio, which has no official site. Jawego Partners LLC claims that over 10 million users use Reg TuneUp, but there are no third parties that can verify these claims. Test from experts reveals disturbing results that show Reg TuneUp can find hundreds of problems on freshly installed Windows. Also, users may be bombarded with pop-up windows and notifications in the system tray area that provide promotional materials and urge users to buy a license from Jawego Partners LLC. Reg TuneUp may close third-party programs and play video commercials on your desktop by using windows that lack a close button. The behavior of Reg TuneUp may not be welcomed by most users who may want to know that Reg TuneUp is a re-branded version of Super PC Cleanup developed and released by Jawego Partners LLC in 2016.
