It is up to the user to work out the purpose of these programs as the AVG software offers no help in this respect. When in sleep mode, a program will automatically jump into action when called upon before returning to an inactive state when the task was completed. Each program in the list is shown with an estimate as to the degree it was slowing matters down with an option to put it in sleep mode. You can view a list of programs that TuneUp felt were slowing down system performance. Moving on to the Speed Up options reveals a series of areas that could increase the speed potential of the host system. Fixes were quickly applied to the found issues. In my case, and this did include a system restart, Registry issues were reduced to just 11 and 86 issues were detected in System Cache and Logs. Starting with Maintenance, you can revisit the scan area to check on what improvements, if any, have been noticed by the process. You can drill down through the various elements classified as Maintenance, Speed Up, Free Up space and Fix Problems. Allowing the AVG software to carry out a fix of the issues brought forth a dashboard style interface providing feedback as to the condition of the system running the software. from the System Cache, Browser Data and Logs. 1107 Registry issues were found followed by 14 broken shortcuts plus 570MB of space that could be regained. As the test system had seemed to be running smoothly, I was a little surprised by the results of this initial scan. In an effort to get right down to work immediately, the AVG software will conduct an initial scan of the host operating system to check out a range of features. As part of the initial set-up procedure, the software will need to be linked to an AVG account which is free to create. This review is based on the product, which was formerly known as the Performance PRO offering, allowing the software to be installed on different products and platforms As is my usual policy, this review is being conducted on a platform running Windows 10 Home edition.

This is what occurred four years later when the product joined the AVG family of offerings.Ĭurrently the software is available from AVG in its 2019 version of the software for the Windows, Mac and Android platforms. After all friends are allowed to move around between owners as happened with TuneUp Utilities. With our relationship, between the reviewer and software product, spreading over a decade, or as near as makes no difference, I do feel I can regard PC TuneUp Utilities as an old friend. I first came across this next product, entitled PC TuneUp Utilities, some ten years ago when the product was available as Shareware (a try before you buy method of marketing).
