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!

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".

—— J.K. Clinton Township, Michigan – USA (13-January-2007)

This is probably the most satisfying software utility purchase I have made all year! Just this morning I sat in front of my computer barely running XP, taking 10 minutes just to boot and frequently freezing up requiring another painful reboot. Now I am pleased to tell you I am enjoying the speed and power I had when I bought my computer with little or nothing installed. Most of us have no idea of the junk that builds up in the background. While I was pretty good at deleting adware and preventing viruses, I was unaware the companies I trust were loading up processes that were completely unneeded. Your software helped rid my system of unnecessary processes in an educated and straightforward manner. I now understand how to keep the system working well. I will be passing the site along to my friends since I am sure they all have or will have the same experiences. Keep up the great work!

—— R.A. Dallas, Texas – USA (17-December-2006)

While not one to write very often to companies like yours, I feel that in this case I must. Since purchasing TUT, and following your recommendations within, my computer is running better than it has since I installed Windows XP Professional. It is now a pleasure to sit down and use it. Boot time was reduced from about 4 minutes to a lightning fast 50 seconds. WOW! No more mysterious crashes, no more "Program not responding" messages, programs load faster, and it's like a new machine. Thanks for this program. I never realized there was so much garbage running in the background, consuming memory and CPU time.

—— D.F. Lilburn, Georgia – USA (30-October-2006)

The Ultimate Troubleshooter will be the first program I will install in my new computer. It's the finest program I have ever used on my computer and it spotted many problem areas I had. I used the fix info and all my problems disappeared. You can use this statement in your testimonials. Many Thanks, T.F.

—— T.F. Canton, Michigan – USA (30-September-2006)

Greetings! Downloaded TUT and it is terrific. I found your site while I was searching for a way to stop dumprep.exe devouring my CPU and freezing everything. The workaround at Microsoft doesn't give the correct registry pathway for this process and the web is full of questions about it. You had the answer. And it actually explained what the process did in English rather than a command line string and recommendations for addressing problems with it. Your solution worked like a charm. I was sold as soon as I found out the database was available to purchase.

—— C.H. Knoxville, Tennessee – USA (30-August-2006)

I have just installed TUT on my old Dell Dimension 8100 (2000) running XP Pro. This is the program I have been needing for ever. I have understood that the prime reason for the computer slowing down has been start up programs and tasks working in the background, but have been reticent to disable all but the obvious. TUT has proved invaluable in explaining what can and can't be done to rectify this issue. Although I have only owned TUT for a few days, the first thing I'm going to do is purchase a licence to install it on my brand new machine which arrives tomorrow, plus you can be assured that I will be recommending it to my friends. Thanks to you all.

—— D.H. Windsor, Ontario – Canada (31-May-2006)

I just purchased The Ultimate Troubleshooter after reading an article over at The Adrenaline Vault recommending your product. My problems on my PC began a month ago with BSOD and lockups along with serious error reports being sent to Microsoft. The stop errors were random, occurring whether I played a game or just casual surfing on the internet. I finally decided to go with your program and it has restored my PC and made it stable again, Thank You !! I was seriously thinking about reformatting and starting all over, but your product saved my PC. Your claim that 65 percent of all PC problems are not malware or viruses or hardware problems is truly correct. From the problems that I was getting, I definitely thought I had a virus or malware, but it was background programs hogging my memory that caused all the BSOD errors. Once again Thanks for a terrific program !

The Wallstreet Journal - February 2008

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.

On Computers - June 2007

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

The Ultimate Troubleshooter, or TUT, is a relatively painless way to take control of your what your PC is doing under the hood in one simple place.

TechNewsWorld - December 2006

The Ultimate Troubleshooter is a wonderful way to gain control over the hidden processes of your PC and prevent problems -- like crashes, freezes and sluggishness -- associated with those processes.

ITP.net - December 2006

A surprisingly simple-to-use program that provides accurate advice to help you tune up your system.

DevHardware - October 2006

I admit when I first received this software, I wasn’t all that eager to do the review. I’ve seen so many programs for optimizing your PC and controlling startup tasks that I figured it couldn’t be any different, but I was wrong.

Not only was I impressed with how fast the program worked, but I was equally impressed at how well it held up to the company’s claims. True to their word, The Ultimate Troubleshooter was both fully functional and easy to use. Nearly every task can be completed in just a few mouse clicks.
