5.6. AVG Advisor
AVG Advisor has been designed to detect problems that might be slowing your computer down, or
putting it at risk, and to recommend an action to solve the situation. If you see a sudden computer
slowdown (Internet browsing, overall performance), it is not usually obvious what exactly the culprit
is, and subsequently, how to solve the problem. That is where AVG Advisor comes in: It will
display a notification in the system tray informing you what the problem might be, and suggesting
how to fix it. AVG Advisor keeps monitoring all running processes within your PC for possible
issues, and offering tips on how to avoid the problem.
AVG Advisor is visible in the form of a sliding pop-up over the system tray:
