We’d like a tool to locate duplicate files, as well, but otherwise this is a genuinely useful way to free up hard drive space.

It can’t quite compete with CCleaner, but is still capable of freeing up a useful amount of drive space.Īdditional one-click options can disable hibernation, Windows search indexing and so on, saving a little more.Īnd a Disk Analyzer reports on your drives to show you what’s consuming the most space (the largest files, the most space-hogging folders, and so on). We started our tests by checking the core tools you’d find in any PC maintenance suite.ĪVG PC TuneUp has plenty of hard drive cleaning options, for instance, allowing you to remove redundant files, Windows Update backups, old system restore points and more.

(It’s a little like Control Panel, for instance - if you can’t remember where a particular option is located, switching to the Icon view will often help.) So it’s good to see the program has an “Overview” option, too click this button and instead of the tabs you’ll see every tool listed on the same page, which may be an easier way to find what you need. This is conventional enough, but a little cluttered, and not the easiest to follow. “Status & recommendations” details any issues with your PC and provides some quick fixes “Optimize system” includes links to various speedup tools “Gain disk space” helps you to delete redundant files “Fix problems” contains some general PC maintenance options and “Customise Windows” provides various useful PC tweaks. This won’t have much effect, as 1-Click Maintenance is very limited (its hard drive cleaning only empties your temporary folders, for instance - it doesn’t even touch the Recycle Bin), but it’s fine as a quick start.Īnd with this first scan complete, we got our first look at the program’s interface, which divides its functionality into five sections. The report appears within a couple of minutes, and you can then fix any issues with a click. Is there enough power here to really speed up your PC, though? We decided to put the program to the test.Īfter a straightforward installation, AVG PC TuneUp immediately launched its 1-Click Maintenance tool, which quickly checked for Registry problems, broken shortcuts, surplus temporary files, startup and shutdown problems, and so on.

Avg tuneup worth it
