Optimization entry on the right-hand side of the Status & recommendations category.
Alternatively, you can open the module by going to Overview of all functions in the Start Center and
selecting the Configure Live Optimization entry under AVG PC TuneUp. Or click on Settings in the Start
Center menu bar and select the Live Optimization area.
Here you can select the two optimization methods. Since both of these are intelligent optimizations in real
time, they do not always take effect immediately. Rather you specify here that from now on the load under
which the computer operates is to be monitored so that both optimizations can apply if the need arises.
Select here the optimization methods to be carried out where necessary:
Increasing the Response Rate
This optimization method monitors all background processes and gives them lower priority if they take up too
much computer power. This ensures an optimal response rate and prevents juddering by windows or
programs. This intelligent optimization identifies need and ensures that the computer's response rate is always
optimum.
The following pictures represent the inside of your computer before and after the Increase response rate
option is enabled. Here you can see how the load on your PC is reduced:
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.
Speed up the startup of my programs
This optimization method intervenes if you start up a program manually when the computer is already under
heavy load. For a short period immediately after the program has started, processing power is temporarily
redistributed, giving the program in question a separate performance boost. This boost is achieved by
temporarily prioritizing the program in question.
The following pictures represent the inside of your computer before and after the Accelerate program
startups option is enabled. Here you can see how a newly started program receives a particular performance
boost:
