Reg TuneUp might seem like a useful PC optimizer, but in reality, the benefits of this software are questionable. The program performs a system scan and afterward it may show a report with various computer issues.

The free version of Reg TuneUp is rather annoying too since it might launch itself automatically and keep suggesting purchasing the full version. Because of its unwanted qualities, the tool was categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP).
