THE
ULTIMATE TROUBLESHOOTER (TM) |

A staggering 65% of problems which a PC encounters, whether in business or at home, are not caused by hardware problems, they are not caused by viruses, they are not caused by spam; they are caused by
programs running in the background. We call them Tasks.
Yes – Unbelievably, the majority of problems PC users experience in their lifetime are caused purely and simply by background tasks. While you are using Microsoft Word and Excel, or Internet Explorer, or Outlook Express, or when you are simply trying to start your PC, there are at all times programs running in the background, programs that you do not see an icon for on the Taskbar or on your Desktop, and which perform various tasks.
Many of those background tasks are useful, if not absolutely necessary; some are optional and only needed for specific users, while many could have been useful but are terribly ill-behaved towards other programs, and some are useless, harmful, or are only of use to advertisers rather than you the end-user.
It is these background tasks which fall in this last group which in
65% of cases :
- Cause your PC to crash with "illegal operations".
- Cause your PC to freeze and lock up so completely that all you can do is switch it off and back on again. In the worst cases you may end up not being able to start your PC normally.
- Cause your PC to run incredibly slowly, so slowly you think you
have a hardware problem or, as some users sometimes think, that you
need a newer faster PC.
- Cause your Internet connection to disconnect often, or you
often cannot connect at all, or any access to the Internet takes
forever.
- Cause your PC to behave strangely : programs do not open, some close abruptly, or you experience frequent random error messages.

It is this incredible statistic, 65% !!!, which led us to create our
Task List pages in January 2002 as a means for our consultants to be able to refer to our in-house database of problematic software when onsite at clients. This was an instant hit as, suddenly, not only were our consultants more effective when troubleshooting problems at clients, but they also started referring to the Task List when helping out friends with their computer problems,
and so the word spread and spread .... As a result, very quickly after the introduction of the first Task List pages, we expanded the Task List from being a reference of only problematic tasks, to being a reference of
all software out there and this became the
Task List that you now know and which is famous worldwide.
As a result of its growth, the Task List soon became so extensive that we wondered how we could make it even more useful, even more of an
instant diagnostic tool without needing to reference, one task at a time, the various Task List pages. So we wrote an in-house tool which we initially called, believe or not, ....... The Task List ! This tool, however, grew and grew and soon became our first port of call when troubleshooting any problem that is not clearly a hardware problem; so we renamed it to
The Ultimate Troubleshooter as our consultants swear by it
– they are totally lost without it, their diagnosis process takes four times as long without The Ultimate Troubleshooter.
Well, you can now use the same indispensable tool that our consultants use as we have now made
The Ultimate Troubleshooter available as a product.
For just $29.95 you can use the tool that no PC should ever be without. Whether you are a user with a little occasional knowledge and use of PCs, or whether you are a technically advanced user, with
The Ultimate Troubleshooter, just like our consultants, you will be able to :
|
 |
Understand everything that is running on your PC in the background : who makes that program, what its purpose in life is, whether you need that program, whether you may need that program, or whether it is downright harmful.
You will be able to do all this without endlessly going back
and forth to our Task List pages – all the information in our Task
List pages, plus hundreds and hundreds of additional entries, is within The Ultimate Troubleshooter, your own portable Task List reference.
|
 |
The Ultimate Troubleshooter is the ultimate replacement for the Windows Task Manager. Once you use TUT you will never again
want to use the Windows Task Manager.
|
 |
The Ultimate Troubleshooter will clearly highlight whether a particular background task is advertising software, or, worse, software that spies on your PC.
Most importantly, The Ultimate Troubleshooter avoids speaking to you in technical jargon in favour of explaining things in Plain Language which
both occasional users and professional users will understand.
|
 |
The Ultimate Troubleshooter also detects spyware
and adware,
the scourge of so many PCs nowadays.
also detects
many
viruses (you should however also have a good antivirus program in addition to
– all PCs should have one).
|
 |
You should always use a good antivirus program on your PC. However, even if you do not, as an added bonus The Ultimate Troubleshooter will identify up to 60% of the most common viruses.
|
 |
The Ultimate Troubleshooter will tell you clearly what you should do if you do not need a particular background task, and, in most cases, you will be able to disable that task right there within The Ultimate Troubleshooter.
|
 |
And there is lots more – if there should be a task which The Ultimate Troubleshooter picks up but for which it has no reference material, it will tell you and you can in turn decide to let us know at a touch of a button, in the exact same manner that our own consultants do when at clients. We will then research the task, experiment with it, as we always do, run thorough tests, and, once we have documented it, The Ultimate Troubleshooter will pick it up the next time you tell it to update itself online.
|
 |
Also, if you want to know what is in your PC, The Ultimate Troubleshooter
will tell you everything you need to know about your PC : hard
disk, memory, graphics card, modem, network card, motherboard, CPU,
etc, etc...

NEW !!!
We have now added a Housekeeping module which performs most of the file system maintenance tasks outlined in our famous
"Regular Housekeeping" document. This module will allow you, through a few simple mouse clicks, to
unclog your PC of endless temporary files, of left-over data from your Internet sessions, of traces of the web pages you visited, and more, so that you can at all times run a mean and lean PC !
|
 |
NEW !!!
Corporate and Professional network troubleshooters will also love what we know are the world's best
PING, Trace Route, and WHOIS functions. For years we used third party programs for our network troubleshooting assignments but none had all the features we wanted in PING, Trace Route, and WHOIS modules, so we recently developed our own and included all the features we had wanted for so long, and the result is the best that can be found anywhere. We're confident of that ! |

So, now you know. Through our Task List pages, you know what we use in-house as reference and you have probably used it successfully yourself too. Through our
Downright Useful Downloads pages we have introduced you to the various utilities and tools we use ourselves on a daily basis and which make our consulting jobs so much easier. Well, with
The Ultimate Troubleshooter you now have access to our ultimate troubleshooting weapon, our ultimate time-saver, our ultimate ..... Ultimate : the one tool we just can never be without !
