"The mean of Tuneup is increasing computer speed. As we know that if we are using our computer since long time then we feel that this is running slow.It can be that it takes 5-10 minutes to start machine and when it start you feelthat you need to wait 2-3 minutes before doing any thing. if you open any program it takes too much time so it is time to Tuneup your computer".

"Increasing the speed and performance of computer is known as Tuneup"

"We need to Tuneup computer once a week"

 Computer needs tuneup because if we are using our machine and using various program then our system stores some temporary files which reduce computer speed and if we install any program it added automatically in start-up so we need to take care of it if we want our computer faster as it was initially
