[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 89360, post: 930052"] This is something I've said not one or twice in this forum. These utilities may be safe and just because Malwarebytes flags them as PUP, doesn't mean they are, as PUP is very subjective. To me an antivirus marketed as "the ultimate malware crusher" and "next-gen smarter AV" when it doesn't utilise half of the industry-standard-technologies is also a PUP. Big one. However though these utilities are not PUP, they will not bring any performance improvement under any circumstances. This goes for registry cleaners, disk cleaners, registry compressors, memory cleaners/compressors, etc. Very frequently the cleaned junk will be regenerated in a matter of hours or its removal just won't do any good. The only technology that really shows some benefit in terms of performance improvement is AVG TuneUP's ability to put programs to sleep, which suspends start-up items, scheduled tasks, services and all program-related components, till you decide to launch it.
