We ran an exclusive giveaway of TuneUp Utilities 2011 and got huge response. The results were supposed to get announced on 28th November, 2010, but got delayed due to some unwanted reasons.

Today, we are announcing the winners of the TuneUp Utilities 2011 giveaway.

We used Random.org’s list randomizer to get the three winners of our giveaway.

The top three names in the screenshot below are the winners:

Congratulations to all the three winners! They will receive their free licenses shortly.

Note: Not every entry was considered valid because either they didn’t subscribe or they didn’t confirm their subscriptions, which was one of our rules for participating in the giveaway. In case of any dispute regarding the giveaway, our decision will be final.

Thank you all for participating!

If you are not a winner this time, better luck next time.

P.S. I will not be able to post any new articles here until 17th December, 2010 due to my on-going final semester exams. Until then, be happy, think positive and enjoy your life!

The first three persons in the list are the winners. They are:

Congratulations to all the winners! They will receive their free AudialsOne 8 License keys very soon.
