Maintaining your computer can be a chore sometimes, especially if you're the kind of person that's always on the go. Keeping all the programs on a computer up-to-speed with the latest updates can be a hassle. Periodically 'housecleaning' the system (like defragging the hard drive) in order to optimize performance is even less exciting.

So we'd like to help with that. We recently launched the trial version of a single tool that handles both these tasks — Updater and Tuneup — on the Technology Preview page, and we'd like to get some feedback on how well your machine performs after using the tool.





The name says it all really — the Updater component keeps track of vulnerable applications installed on your machine and notifies you when updates are available; while Tuneup takes care of the housekeeping - defragging the hard drive, checking the registry, etc - so your machine stays optimized for speed.

And to say thanks for the trouble, we're offering the following items as prizes to users who give feedback:

  • 5 boxes of F-Secure Internet Security 2010
  • 15 VIP Cards for F-Secure Internet Security 2010 and F-Secure Mobile Security

Giveaway is by lucky draw.

The trial version is free, and the Technology Preview period closes at end January 2010.
