AVG PC TuneUp 2011

You already know how AVG can protect you online. Now we take our expertise one step further by fixing problems that slow you down. AVG PC Tuneup 2011 provides 16 useful tools to help you get the most out of your PC.

Improve your PC’s speed, performance and stability

Over time your PC registry becomes clogged, causing your computer to slow down, freeze and even crash. Registry Cleaner fixes these problems – there’s no risk involved as all changes made are backed up and can be undone quickly and easily. You’ll also benefit from a disk defragmenter that reorganizes files on your disks so that they can be read and written to faster. This improves application response time, your PC’s boot speed and overall performance. There are also over 280+ Windows settings you can tweak to improve your system’s speed and performance. You can even turn off unnecessary programs that run on startup and disable unnecessary services that use up valuable memory, processor power and space.

Free up space on your hard drive

Disk cleaning tools remove duplicate and junk files from your hard disks, giving you back valuable space. You can also identify large files and save the ones you don’t need to a removable drive.

Speed up your internet connection

Internet optimizer automatically tunes your Internet connection settings to the type of Internet connection you use. Unlike similar products, the internet optimizer will test your connection settings before applying any changes.

Protect your privacy

Deleting files or folders removes references to them but doesn’t remove the actual data stored within the file. This means that files you think you've deleted can easily be retrieved. File shredding and disk wiping tools included within AVG PC Tuneup permanently delete files and wipe disks so your personal data cannot be easily recovered. You can choose from four different shredding options, ranging from fast to military‐level safety shredding. You also probably don’t realize how many of your activities are recorded on your PC. When you surf the internet, open documents or run programs, you leave traces. Track eraser will help you protect your privacy by hiding these traces so that no one can see which web sites you have visited or which documents you have recently opened.

Protect and recover personal files

AVG PC Tuneup comes fully equipped with a file recovery tool so that you can recover files that have been damaged or accidentally deleted within Windows. File recovery also allows you to preview photos and documents while browsing through the list of found files. Disk Doctor is also included so that bad sectors, lost clusters and directory errors can be identified to protect from data loss in the first place.
