Dell PC Tune-Up
The automated or monthly version of Dell PC Tune-Up allows you to choose
the day and time of the month you want your computer "tuned up." A typical
tune-up includes hard drive defragmentation, removal of unwanted and
temporary files, updated security settings, verification of "good" restore
points, and other maintenance activities designed to improve computer
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
computer (see "Contacting Dell" on page 201).
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 computer running at peak performance, visit the PC Tune-Up home
page (
www.dell.com/services/pc tuneup ).
