A staggering 65% of problems which a PC encounters (lockups, crashes, blue screens of death, computer is running slow, sluggish PC), whether in business or at home, are not caused by hardware problems, they are not caused by viruses, they are not caused by spyware — they are caused by background tasks belonging largely to legitimate and well-known software you use every day, or unwanted software you never knew was running in the background !

The average PC has 25 or more background tasks which do not need to be running, all sucking up processor time and memory resources. 25 or more !

For example : perhaps you have a laptop which works wirelessly in your home with no problems whatsoever. However, when you take it on your travels you are unable to connect to any wireless network. You're frustrated, you've asked a friend to help, you've been to the PC repair store — and still no joy — you can use wireless only in your own home !! This is where The Ultimate Troubleshooter (TUT) comes in : load it, and immediately it identifies for you the background task which is causing this nightmare. And the irony : the wireless router installation CD sent to you by your Internet Service Provider installed that task, and, naturally, you never suspected it might be the cause of all your problems.

Tune up your PC like the experts do thanks to TUT's extensive and detailed database of tasks. TUT's database of tasks is a superset of our famous Task List which is featured in the industry leading "Windows XP/7 Management Troubleshooting & Maintenance" course from CNET, and Hewlett-Packard's "Tune up your PC" online course, and which is also referenced by a majority of mainstream newspaper IT columnists worldwide (see Press column -->).

Each task is explained in detail, but above all, in plain language understandable by all levels of users. TUT (The Ultimate Troubleshooter) tells you what the task does, and whether you need it or not depending on your own specific requirements. This helps you streamline your PC and disable or remove unwanted software and programs so that so that the only tasks running are those that you really need — in turn this results in your PC running faster thanks to having more memory to play with and less unnecessary tasks running in the background. Nothing can speed up a slow PC as well as TUT can.

And, of course, as its name implies, The Ultimate Troubleshooter is first class in helping to fix computer problems and computer errors caused by background programs, the same background programs which cause 65% of all computer problems.

Faster start-up time
TUT now starts up faster — 4 to 15 seconds, depending on the PC it is running on, compared to 30 to 60 seconds with version 3.

Clearer presentation
TUT now displays more information on the screen, yet the presentation is a lot spacier than it used to be, and we use bigger display fonts too.

Windows 7 - Windows 8 and 8.1 ready
TUT now does Windows 7 and Windows 8 and 8.1 (32-bit/64-bit) along with running also on all server versions of Windows, Windows 2000/2003/2008/2012 Server.

Popup Help everywhere
Hover the mouse on most parts of the screen and TUT now has popup help.
Here are a few examples :



TUT now shows your running tasks in real-time
The Ultimate Troubleshooter now shows your running tasks in real time. In the previous version of TUT, if you opened a program while TUT was open, TUT would not show the new program until you pressed the REFRESH toolbar button. This has now changed completely. The Tasks tab now operate in real-time. By default it will refresh the display every 10 seconds. You can quicken this refresh frequency to 3 seconds, or actual real-time (less than 1 second), or you can slow it down to 20 seconds. You will find the option under the "View \ Task Refresh Rate" or "Tools \ Preferences" menus.


Colour customization
Don't like the green popup help depicted in the screenshots above ? No problem — change it through the "Tools \ Preferences" menu. There is also a choice of 5 colours for the highlight bar on the Tasks, Services, and Startups screens.


Real-time utilization graphs
In addition to the constantly updated memory and CPU utilization for each individual task shown on the Tasks screen, TUT now also has two graphs permanently visible at the top of the screen which show a constantly updated view of the CPU utilization (processor utilization) and memory utilization of your PC, thereby enabling you to accurately monitor the performance and health of your PC.
