6.4. System Protection
In the following chapters, you will find out how to use the AVG Rescue Center module to undo changes that
you made with AVG PC TuneUp. You can also use AVG Rescue Center to perform system recoveries, i.e.
to undo changes that you did not make with AVG PC TuneUp.
System Recovery
The AVG Rescue Center even lets you undo changes made not by AVG PC TuneUp but by other
applications. AVG Rescue Center offers integration with the Windows system recovery function for this.
Windows regularly creates restore points. Should your system stop behaving as it should, you can revert at
any time to one of the restore points. The previous system status is then restored and any changes made
after this point are lost.
Where Can I Find the AVG Rescue Center?
The AVG Rescue Center is always within reach: To access the AVG Rescue Center, press Undo changes
in the category Status & Recommendations of the Start Center. This button is also found in the individual
modules.
6.4.1. Undoing Changes
Start the AVG Rescue Center module by clicking Undo changes in the category Status &
Recommendations of the Start Center.
Alternatively, you can start the module by going to Overview of all functions in the Start Center and
selecting the Undo changes entry under AVG PC TuneUp.
In the right-hand column, AVG Rescue Center shows you a list of all saved backups arranged by module or
date and specifies for each entry the number of modified settings, time of change and the disk space freed up
by the changes.
Showing details
The Details button takes you to an exact log of the changes carried out. However you can only view this log.
You cannot undo only selected changes. For this reason you may have to restore a number of superfluous
files before you can use just one file again that you deleted by accident.
Delete
If you are quite certain that you no longer need a backup, you can delete it permanently using this button.
Restore
Use this button to restore the system to its status before the selected backup.
