AVG PC TuneUp

The problems a user can have with a computer are too many to count. Obsolete registry entries, broken shortcuts or too many temp files are just a few examples. There are all sorts of specialized applications on the Internet which can be used to fix these problems, but if you don't want to install multiple applications and solve your problems separately, you should try AVG PC TuneUp. The software is not limited to cleaning up and defragmenting the registry or the hard drive. It places a huge array of utilities at your disposal, for fixing various performance and health issues, solving miscellaneous problems with the operating system's interface and much more.

AVG PC TuneUp is free to try for 15 days, but the trial version is fully functional, which means that you can enjoy its entire functionality, without restrictions, until it expires. It takes about a minute to download the software's setup package and to install its core components on your computer. You can use it on Windows XP or any later edition, without compromising your computer's performance.

The available tools are neatly organized on separate tabs, based on their purpose. You can find numerous utilities for system optimization, cleanup, customization and fixing miscellaneous problems. You can also find a dashboard, on the same interface, which displays commonly used tools, for registry and hard drive maintenance, PC performance and health. The software shows an optimization potential as well, with recommendations and options to perform certain operations.

Besides an applications uninstaller and a startup manager, the program's optimization section includes an application disabler as well. If you are not using certain programs, but you don't want to uninstall them, you can simply disable them to preserve resources. You can also access the optimization section to find options for cleaning or defragmenting the registry and hard drive in separate operations.

When you access the cleanup section, AVG PC TuneUp will automatically scan for system and web browser temp data and broken shortcuts. You can view more details and clean up the found junk files on separate windows. The software is capable of fixing common issues as well, like invisible shortcut arrows, the Run command not showing up in the start menu and more. All issues are listed on a small window and all you have to do to fix one is to select it and click a button.

If you are using a laptop, you may click a few buttons, located on the program's dashboard, to set your machine to economy, standard or turbo mode. It is also possible to set the laptop to flight mode, which disables the Wi-fi and Bluetooth, to comply with airline safety regulations.
