We would like to stress that the additional offers are completely optional. TuneUp is 100% clean and permanently checked for potential threats. We assure you that our application does not contain any malware.

Also if you buy from the app store you can, on any of your other Macs, easily install the same program for no additional cost. You buy the app install it and you are done.
