Installation Installation might take a while to finish, but before you reach that point you have to choose if you want to install the AVG Security Toolbar that comes with the main program and change your browser’s homepage and search provider to AVG Secure Search.

The installation step is the next and final step. The program can run under any Windows XP, Vista or 7 machine. Interface First time you launch the program a window will come up and recommend that you perform a general system scan using 1-Click Maintenance feature. Even from this small interaction with TuneUp you will see that the fonts and buttons are smooth and easy to read. Star Center is the name for the main window, which is split into categories and gives you the ability to control all functions from there. In the first category you will see an overview of your system’s status and some general advice that you can use to improve performance and increase security. The other categories have more advanced tools dedicated to fix any area of the computer that needs attention, consequently speeding it up. Pros The improved TuneUp Economy Mode is a drastic way to reduce power consumption and increase battery life on your laptop by using various methods, like terminating unnecessary processes running in the background, or configuring the hardware to consume less but sufficient power. Apart from the fixing and optimizing part, TuneUp has loads of tweaks and settings hidden in Windows, allowing you to adjust them freely. For example you can change your Windows theme, boot logo, logon screen, program icons and so many other things that you didn’t even know you could modify.
