PC TuneUp
The automated or monthly version of Dell PC Tune-Up allows you to choose
the day and time of the month you want your PC tuned up. A typical tuneup
includes hard drive defrag, removal of unwanted and temporary files, updated
security settings, verification of "good" restore points, and other maintenance
activities designed to improve PC performance and security. The monthly
version is available as an annual subscription and is a feature of Dell Support 3,
a complimentary application that provides real-time health scans and
information on how to maintain your PC.
Both versions of PC Tune-Up are available to customers in the U.S. and
Canada. To learn more about the monthly version and how easy it is to keep
your PC running at peak performance, visit the PC TuneUp home page
(www.dell.com/services/pc tuneup).
PC CheckUp
PC Checkup is a troubleshooting and diagnostic tool that provides customized
scanning and testing of your Dell system. PC Checkup will validate if your
hardware is working properly and provide automated fixes for common
configuration issues. Dell recommends that you run PC Checkup on a regular
basis or before contacting Dell for assistance. The application creates a detailed
report that can be used by Dell technicians to resolve your issue quickly.
