Do you know what Super Tuneup is?
Judging from its name, Super Tuneup sounds like a pretty cool program, doesn’t it? If you have certain computer problems, this application seems to be there to help you. On the other hand, what if it’s there on your computer when you do not even remember installing it? Well, then it means that this application got installed accidentally with some other program.
Please bear in mind that this application is not a malicious infection, and so it requires your permission to be installed on your system. Likewise, you can easily remove Super Tuneup from your system.
Our research team says that Super Tuneup is similar to Win Tuneup Pro, Reg TuneUp, Advanced PC Tuneup, and many other system optimization tools that we have discussed in the past. Since these programs are similar, we can expect them to behave in a similar way. That is to say, they tell users that there are a lot of errors on their computers, and thus users must fix those errors by purchasing the full version of the program. Do you really need the full version of Super Tuneup? Well, that is already another question.
Let’s first look at the way this program gets distributed across the web. The point about system optimization tools is that they are far from genuine malware infections. Which means, that they tend to have official distribution sources. Thus, you should be able to find more about Super Tuneup at supertuneup.com. The information on this page says that Super Tuneup can “fix invalid registry errors, defrag and compact the registry, improve system response time, prevent system crashes and BSODs, drastically improve overall PC performance,” and so on. From this list, you might get an impression that this program is the answer to all of your prayers, but let us not be hasty.

First, ask yourself: How did Super Tuneup enter your computer? Did you really download it from the official website? Or perhaps this application just jumped into your screen one day, already running the full system scan? If the latter is your answer, it means that Super Tuneup arrived bundled with freeware.
Freeware bundles are one of the most common methods of distribution for such applications. It means that users download and install programs from file-sharing websites, and they go through the installation process automatically without reading all the steps properly. Normally, it is possible to deselect the unwanted applications during the installation process, but if you skip the steps the likes of Super Tuneup could easily end up on your system. As a result, users have no one else but themselves to blame for running such programs on their computers.
However, we are lucky that Super Tuneup is not a dangerous computer threat. It only wants to make some money for its developers. The program will run a full system scan, and it will find system-related errors that you will be urged to fix. While the program performs the scan for free, to fix these issues, you are expected to pay the full price for this application ($29.95).
Is it really necessary to pay this much for Super Tuneup? Well, the question is whether you have a lot of registry errors. On the other hand, if you are not an experienced computer user, the chances are that you will not have that many errors in the first place. Also, most of the errors can be fixed manually, so it somewhat redundant to get a third-party application for it.
Now if you are sure that you want Super Tuneup gone, you can remove it via Control Panel. Our research team says that uninstall the application via Control Panel does not leave any leftover files in your registry.
Since the manual removal is so easy, you might as well scan your computer with the SpyHunter free scanner to see if you have more undesirable programs installed. Unwanted applications often travel in packs, so if there is one program running on your PC; it is very likely that there might be several others.
Make sure that your system is safe and clean, and then protect it from other intruders by acquiring a legitimate antispyware application. For more questions, do not hesitate to leave us a comment below.
