A small sample of comments from our Home Users

This is the absolute best utility I have ever used! I have previously purchased utilities that purported to clean up the registry and speed up the system but were just money down the drain. With TUT I really did speed up my computer and actually managed to get CPU usage down from 100% to 17%. I really like the way it gives me the information to chose for myself what I want and don't want on the computer. BTW as a sign of how well I like the program this is the first program that I have ever purchased (and I have been computing since 1981) that I have written extolling its praises.

BTW, I just wanted to say that this is one of my favorite maintenance programs. One of the most annoying things about keeping XP working correctly is knowing what the heck those files are that are running and whether they need to be running. TUT really helps in this regard. Keeping the database updated is so important for TUT to be really useful. Clearly there are new programs being loaded onto machines all the time. I appreciate that you guys are trying to keep up with it all. Please keep up the great job you're doing.

Thank you for this service. It is wonderful, and so, so worth what I paid for it!

No problems since the program is pretty intuitive. I was having random crashes and could not track it down using msconfig and service.msc. However, after installation of TUT I quickly located the rogue which was a web cam and another program interacting. I have a simple question. What are the purple arrows in the memory column. I notice they change. Is this increasing and decreasing memory use ? Thanks again for a great program.

I love your sense of humor in your recommendations – like "this is either stunning software or a stunning explanation". You haven't steered me into any actions yet that have caused me problems, and you have definitely made it easy for me to end some startups that have been plaguing me. Thank you!

What a fantastic piece of software! The commentary and explanations are perfect to decide what to turn off or leave on. IMSI Designs Turbocad 14 now starts up within a human lifetime. Well Done!

I just had to write this after using this program for the best part of this year. TuT is possibly the best and easiest to use program on the market. Everything you need to fine tune your pc is there, in simple plain speaking terms, no technical jargon just the plain facts. Why download and install 10 different programs when this one does that and more. Other programs promise the answers but fail to deliver them, possibly the most useful software I have ever used, like having your own pc technician at hand 24/7!!! All the best for 2008, and keep up the great work!! Cheers, P...

This program is awesome. I am reading and brain-sponging everything you write from go to whoa. Thanks for the great README. I am so glad I found it. Thanks to the link referred from our June monthly CD — the Melbourne PC Users Group, the second largest not-for-profit members computer users group in the whole world.

I am impressed with this product. I had purposely used WinTaskPro 5.04 to clean up a Vista machine which took around 35 minutes since I am experienced with that product. Then I ran the full version of TUT, got the latest update and got to work. I was pleased and surprised that TUT cleaned up another batch of stuff again as much as WinTaskPro did. Meaning after my gladness running WinTaskPro and the gains from that, TUT again, took cleaning and routing out almost 50% MORE items for a total of 98 items either disabled, removed or not needed. The text information that only is provided in the full version is very helpful to making decisions ...... for such a great program.

I had to write to you to tell you that version 4 of TUT is the best utility software I have ever used. It's amazing to see all of the start-up software that is included with commercial products. So much of it is installed and runs without your knowledge. Your software has allowed me to understand the cryptic names of services so that I can stop the ones I don't need. Your recommendations have saved me from the frustration of a slow running computer. When I started using your software 2 years ago I only had 40% of my memory available. Now I have over 70%. When I contacted you with a recommendation to include a total for memory used by tasks you quickly added the feature. You listen to your customers and that is the sign of a great company. In version 4, the increase of information and the manner in which it is displayed shows you have taken the time to design a software product that was not rushed to the market just to put out a new version. The software is very user friendly. Keep up the great work. When renewal time comes, I will be a returning customer!

First: Thank You for an incredible product! The Ultimate Troubleshooter indeed! Before installing TUT, total boot time from cold power on to all drivers, services, etc. started, was 5 minutes 30 seconds, plus or minus about 10 seconds (average of 5 cold starts). After installing TUT, and yes — following the instructions, caveats, etc. very carefully — cold boot time is 3 minutes, plus or minus about 10 seconds. Sweet!

—— T.D. San Francisco, California – USA (26-April-2007)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Finally, software for the common man. All too often I tried to clean my Start Menu only to be intimidated by anachronistic file names that made me shudder at the thought of deleting something that was required for my computer to function. For those of us who don't have degrees in computer technology or the like, TUT is a godsend. It should be standard on all computers 'out of the box'. Keep up the excellent work! I honestly hope that all of your employees are being rewarded for their contributions to your product. If I had a say, TUT would be named "Software of the Decade".

Windows tuning made easy – and inexpensive

Even when you know what invisible background tasks might be slowing down your computer, you lack the knowledge to decide which to kill ....... A Web site I have found useful for such research is called AnswersThatWork .....

The PC Guy - January 2008

...a great deal for what is essentially an in-house doctor on call 24/7, and that will help keep your computer in tiptop shape.

TechByter Worldwide - September 2007

TUT is an easy way to find out what's bugging your computer. The Ultimate Troubleshooter will let you streamline your PC for speed and stability. It's a surprisingly robust application for the price. And the snarky comments just add to the charm.

If your computer is getting slower, one of the things that helps is to shut down programs running in the background. We use TUT, ("The Ultimate Troubleshooter") to check up on those.

Simplehelp.net - June 2007

ATW claims “The Ultimate Troubleshooter is PC healthcare, PC repair, PC tuning, and PC maintenance in Plain English” - and I won’t dispute that one bit.

Courier Mail - June 2007

In recent tests it found useless programs that even I did not know about and, on a standard Windows XP installation, reduced the number of start-up programs from more than 50 to fewer than 30 and decreased memory usage from around 350MB to under 200MB.

Yahoo!Tech - May 2007
