PC Tuneup Software

Hi Everybody

Running Widows Xp SP3 on a Dimension 9200

Making a mistake I needed to reformat my hard drive and re-install using Dell recovery disc.

(Dont ask.......... a self inflicted wound made worse by my failure to 'backup')

I have easily downloaded and re-installed most of my lost software except PCTuneup

I have had a hell of a lot of difficulty in obtaining a download link to the product (I have the registration key)

The supplying merchant does no more than 'auto respond' to my requests sending me the original invoice (which I had kept anyway) and its download link which is broken.

I knew the link was broken (probably timed out) as I had already tried

This software branded Dell is actually a disguised version of the well known Iolo 'System Mechanic'

Iolo refer me back to Dell.

All I want is a simple link that does not demand further payment.

My licence has more than 7 months to run

So two questions

1) Can anyone in the group point me to a working link ?

2) Does the group consider the software worth the effort ? Maybe I am better off with it cleansed from my system

There are many different points of view of this kind of product some thinking itt can do more harm than good

See if this helps: Dell PC Tuneup  You will need to have your account info to sign in. I think leaving it off your system is the best option. Lots of problems reported  by posters here on the forum.
