The green circles represent those programs that you wish to accelerate using the Turbo Mode. The blue
diamonds are all the programs and functions that are not required at all when Turbo Mode is on (see How to
Configure Your Own AVG Turbo Mode). These are therefore turned off so that all of the PC's processing power
is available to the required programs.
In addition to those programs that you are currently using (green), many others are also running in the
background that are really not that important for your work (blue). If such background processes suddenly start
to require a great deal of processing power, they are assigned a lower priority so that your other programs can
continue to run smoothly.
When should I switch on Turbo Mode?
Using the Turbo Mode can, for example, speed up computer games, make it easier to work with performance-
sapping programs or prevent videos from flickering or freezing when they are played. Note however that when
you enable Turbo Mode, you also turn off some functionalities that will not be available again until you turn off
Turbo Mode.
How to Switch the Computer to Turbo Mode
At the bottom left of the AVG PC TuneUp Start Center, there are three switches. The right-hand switch is for
Turbo Mode. When you click this switch, the computer is switched to Turbo Mode. The AVG icon then
appears in the notification area of the taskbar, notifying you that Turbo Mode is turned on.
Alternatively, you can access the switch for Turbo Mode directly via the AVG PC TuneUp icon in the
notification area of the taskbar. Left-click on the icon. A pop-up window opens, showing the Turbo Mode switch
on the bottom right.
How to Find Out if Turbo Mode is On
If Turbo Mode is on, a AVG PC TuneUp icon appears in the taskbar notification area (in the bottom right-hand
corner beside the time), which tells you that Turbo Mode is on. You can also recognize this from the switch in
the Start Center.
