What is AVG PC Tuneup

When trying to work out all of the kinks and bugs to get the most out of your personal computer, AVG PC Tuneup will get the job done. One of the most formidable system maintenance tools currently on the market, AVG's PC Tuneup will provide a thorough analysis of your system, while delivering the best optimization on the market.

Some may be familiar with AVG's popular anti-virus product. Unlike that program, AVG PC Tuneup focuses more on the problems that lead to a slow-running computer that constantly freezes and crashes. PC Tuneup aims to clean up junk files that are cluttering up the system, fix issues within the registry and fix all pertinent performance issues.

AVG PC Tuneup comes equipped with a registry scanner, which locates errors within your Windows registry. This scan is exhaustive, covering all application paths, file associations and file extensions. When running this scan, be prepared for it to take quite a while to finish.

There are also the "System Adviser" and "Resource Usage" display tabs. The System Adviser shows users what they can do to make their system run more efficiently, while Resource Usage gives real time updates, letting you know what percentage of your PC's resources are currently being used.

AVG PC Tuneup also comes with Advanced Tools, which will enable users to keep their hard drive clean and track down duplicate versions of files. Advanced Tools also allows AVG PC Tuneup users to procure information about their history and past software installations. The entirety of your history can be wiped clean and all unnecessary data securely erased. These actions will free up valuable hard drive space.
