You will get a window like this. Select appropriate settings for each.

Since i use a 3G modem (Mobile Broadband / Dongle), i chose Cellular for 1st setting. It has maximum speed up to 3.6 Mbps. So, i chose HSDPA 3G+, 3.5G. Same settings are valid for 3G modems with speed up to 7.2 Mbps, 21 Mbps, Dual Carrier etc.

If you are using Fixed Broadband like ADSL, choose DSL, TV Cable or power line as first setting. Set appropriate settings for second one.

For Visual settings, i chose Maximum visual appearance. Because, i want to have all visual effects. setting this in to reduced or balanced modes can improve performance slightly.

Set the last setting for After 100 Days of PC Usage. Setting this to lower value may cause you unnecessary notifications regarding installed software.

Press OK and wait until Tuneup Utilities scan current computer settings and make suggestions to optimize.

You can directly optimize by clicking Optimize All. or you can go to each suggestion and make your own decision to optimize or not.
