Hi Gumboman,

The Benefits of PC Tune up are:

(1) Remove unwanted and temporary files

(2) Enable automatic Windows updates

(3) Update security settings

(4) Perform other maintenance tasks that improve the system's performance

Please write back with more details if this is not the software you are talking about.

It's unnecessary, but I believe the vendor pays Dell to have it preinstalled, and in return Dell can sell the PC for a lower price. Apple does not do this, which makes their offerings more expensive but in turn faster and less trouble-prone. On the subject, you may find this article of interest.

Windows has its own utilities and applets for deleting temporary files, turning on automatic updates, and changing security settings.
