Userlevel 1
I saw on my computer that this was trying to update but the problem is the language is german. I dont speak german so i try to unistall and it wont work, then i try to delete the folder and that wont work. I did a scan with webroot and it said it was clean but when I blocked a couple of files in the folder and then did a virus scan it said it was a virus. So is it a virus or not?

Hello Bat72,
Welcome to the Commujnity Forum,
The TuneUp Utilities 2013 presents itself as a legitimate hard drive repair application, but in reality this is a fake program that is nothing more than can cause damage to your hard drive. This malicious application performs several harmful activities like hiding the data files, displaying fake alerts, modifying windows registry, and disabling the security tools. The TuneUp Utilities 2013 distributed through compromised web pages by using the loopholes in the security of your system. Once installed, this malicious application shows that you have to start the system in the safe mode, and also shows the fake safe mode background to trap the innocent computer users
Have you tried Revo uninstaller?
