10. System Control
AVG PC Tuneup provides you with a set of tools that will help you to control every
task, service or application running on your computer.
10.1. Control Startup Programs
Reducing the number of programs that start automatically will make Windows boot
faster and free up system resources. Startup Manager lists all startup programs
installed on your system and allows you to disable the programs that you use
occasionally or don't use at all.
To launch the Startup Manager tool, click on the Startup items link of the Software
Control section. Manage the list by adding new programs or removing unnecessary
startup applications. You can also disable any program before removing it from the list
to see the effect the change will have on your system.
10.2. Disable Unnecessary Services
There are some services constantly running on your computer that you don't really
need. Each of them uses valuable system resources - memory, CPU and hard drive.
Disabling these services may significantly increase your computer performance.
Service Manager will help you to identify and disable unnecessary services by
providing you with comprehensive descriptions and recommendations regarding each
running service.
