4. Optimization Status
The Optimization Status is your personal indicator of optimization progress. You can find it on the AVG PC
TuneUp Start Center next to the PC optimization mode area.
What is the Optimization Status?
The Optimization Status uses a graph and associated notifications to show you how extensively you are
already using the options of AVG PC TuneUp to increase performance and maintain the system and where
there is still potential to optimize your system further.
The Optimization Status shows you details of both the Completed optimizations and the potential you have
exploited.
The Optimization Status also helps you to recognize the remaining Unused potential and make use of it.
The Graph
In the graph, the blue sections on the left represent the modules you have used to make your optimization
progress so far, and the dark gray area on the right represents open optimization options. A message is
assigned to every section of the graph: the figures in the white boxes next to Completed optimizations
stand for messages about optimizations that you have already carried out. The figures next to Unused
potential represent messages about the optimization potential that can still be exploited.
Messages
Above the graph, you can see the current messages about optimizations already completed and about
untapped potential. If you click on the blue underlined text in the messages under Unused potential, this
opens the precise AVG PC TuneUp module that you can use to achieve the unused potential.
By clicking on the figures, you can click through the individual messages. If you click on the white box with
the blue lines, the window containing the overview of all Optimization Status messages opens. This displays
a complete overview with all of the current messages on both the Completed optimizations and Unused
potential areas together with the corresponding graph sections and figures.
Even if your system is perfectly optimized today, anything could change tomorrow that could present areas for
optimization, e.g. the installation of new programs or a change to system settings. Pay attention to the
messages on unused potential in order to keep your system optimized for the long term and therefore
maintain a good Optimization Status.
What is Used to Calculate the Optimization Status?
AVG PC TuneUp performs an analysis to see which optimizations it can perform on your system. This
potential is displayed in a graph showing you how close your system is to having 100% optimization. You will
achieve 100% – the perfect Optimization Status and therefore a fully filled out graph – when you implement the
recommended optimization potential for your system as much as possible.
The graph is made of different sections. The sections on the left-hand side represent optimizations completed
and the sections on the right-hand side show optimization potential still remaining. The Optimization Status is
calculated based on the analysis results of the following sections:
