AVG TuneUp | Clean & Speed Up Your PC

Optimize your PC with Sleep Mode

Installed programs slow your PC down by hogging memory and CPU. Our completely revamped Sleep Mode technology puts them to sleep and wakes them up when you need them — and not a moment sooner.

Put programs to sleep
Find apps that start automatically, background processes, and scheduled tasks. Then put them to sleep so they don’t drain your PC or slow you down.
Restart sleeping programs whenever you want
Kick-start sleeping apps at your convenience — our patented technology automatically enables all background activity.
Put programs back to sleep when you’re done
After you’re done using the app, we’ll re-freeze all resource-draining background activity for you.

Find and remove unwanted software with Software Uninstaller

Our Software Uninstaller detects bloatware and helps you get rid of it, along with programs you no longer use or forgot you had.

Unwanted software
Get a full list of apps installed in your computer — including pre-installed ones — and see how they score in usefulness with our unique rating system, which combines blacklists/whitelists, heuristic algorithms, AVG’s Recommendation Engine, and user reviews.
Old software
See which programs you haven’t used in a while, and identify the ones you don’t need anymore. Not sure about a particular app? Use the Move to Trash feature to put it in quarantine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will AVG TuneUp improve the performance of my PC?

AVG TuneUp speeds up and cleans your PC by detecting and safely removing bloatware (unnecessary software) from your system. AVG TuneUp also addresses the issues that can cause system crashes and unpredictable behavior, including junk files, unnecessary programs installed on your PC, outdated software, and unusual system settings.

Over time, the reliability and performance of your PC will decline. You may notice issues such as:

Programs that run very slowly, crash, or freeze.

Pop-ups from “bloatware”

AVG TuneUp optimizes your PC to restore its performance and keep it in top shape. To see AVG TuneUp in action, take a look at the results of our PC speed and cleaning tests.

How long will it take for AVG TuneUp to scan and clean my PC?

It typically takes only a few minutes for AVG TuneUp to scan and clean your PC, depending on the scan type and the amount of data being analyzed. But you can continue to use your PC normally while AVG TuneUp scans and cleans. The latest version of AVG TuneUp includes Automatic Maintenance, which runs silently in the background when needed to remove unnecessary items from your PC.

When you configure Automatic Maintenance for the first time, you can specify which item types you want AVG TuneUp to remove. AVG TuneUp is designed to run automatically, so you don’t need to worry about manually tuning your PC.

How can I test my PC performance?

A computer performance test works by first setting a benchmark and then running another test one to two months later to see how performance has changed. You can also use this test to measure your PC’s battery life.

Benchmarking your PC’s performance allows you to measure how fast your PC handles various operations by simulating normal processes, including Microsoft Office and Adobe products, playing games, browsing the web, and editing multimedia files.

Is AVG TuneUp an antivirus?

No. AVG TuneUp is a PC optimization tool that speeds up and cleans up your PC while fixing issues that may cause system crashes and other unexpected behavior. There is no “AVG TuneUp antivirus.”

Although AVG TuneUp does not actively protect your PC against viruses, you can use the application alongside trusted antivirus software to identify and remove unwanted programs that may have been installed on your PC as a result of malware. If you're interested in antivirus software in addition to cleanup software, we recommend getting an AVG Ultimate subscription, which includes both AVG Internet Security and AVG TuneUp.

Is AVG TuneUp the same as AVG TuneUp Utilities?

AVG TuneUp Utilities is an older version of AVG TuneUp that is no longer supported. If AVG TuneUp Utilities is installed on your PC, you can continue to use the product, but it no longer receives updates or bug fixes.

We strongly recommend downloading or upgrading to the latest version of AVG TuneUp, which includes extra features, improvements to existing features, and an updated user interface. After you download or upgrade, you’ll be able to install AVG TuneUp on an unlimited number of devices to optimize every PC in your household.
