Increase Performance
The status field in the Increase performance area shows whether AVG PC TuneUp has detected options for
increasing the performance of your computer. For example, you may receive recommendations for increasing
the speed of your Internet, uninstalling programs that haven't been used for a while or upgrading your
hardware.
However, in order to get the most out of performance recommendations that are personalized to your
requirements, you must first answer some questions regarding your usage profile. Click Create profile.
If there are recommendations, you can view these by clicking Show details or the link to the
recommendations. Each recommendation has a detailed description and you can apply most
recommendations with just a click of the mouse. You can also hide individual recommendations. Once all
recommendations have been applied or hidden, the status for this area reverts to green.
For more information, see Increasing Performance.
Fix Problems
The status in the Fix problems area shows whether everything is working fine on your computer or whether
critical problems have been detected which may affect the system's health. For example, a check can be
carried out to see if key Windows settings have been configured correctly, if there is enough free space on
your system drive or whether important security programs have been installed.
If problems have been found, click Show details. For each problem, you will receive a description and can
choose if you want to solve it now or hide it until later. Once all problems have been solved or hidden, the
status of this area reverts to green.
For more information, see Fixing Problems.
System protection
On the far right under System protection, you can see the current status of AVG Rescue Center. By simply
clicking on Undo changes you can undo any changes made in AVG PC TuneUp at any time.
The AVG Rescue Center module monitors the changes you make to your system using AVG PC TuneUp
and allows you to undo these at a later stage. You can also use AVG Rescue Center to manage restore
points and thereby undo system changes that you did not make using AVG PC TuneUp.
For more information, see Undoing changes.
