![]() Registry Cleaner/Defragger: Completely useless and also dangerous.Driver Updater: Not needed, all you need is to go on your manufacturer website so you'll be sure to get the right, official, working drivers for your computer or hardware.Managing start-up entries: Autoruns (standalone executable), CCleaner (installed), Task Manager and Registry (in-built).Cleaning temporary files: TFC (standalone executable), CCleaner (installed), Cleanmgr.exe (in-built).Every feature they provide, you can either do it natively under Windows, do it via another standalone executable (which is way easier and safer to use) or they aren't providing something you need. The worst is that they'll often take action on your system without you knowing, nor authorizing it, which could lead to your system being altered in a way you don't want it to be or even worst, a "broke" system. They are completely worthless and useless to use. When it comes to messing up your system (Windows), these are as worst as malware. "PC Booster/Tune Up" programs are part of the worst programs you can install on a system. But, I go by the old saying: "Once bitten, twice shy"! After this extremely bad experience, personally I will not use ANY of AVG's products. It is "probably" OK to use, I just recommend NOT to use the AVG PC Tune Up program!!! Perhaps my experience was a "fluke". ![]() It is not my intention to offend any loyal AVG Anti Virus users. I currently use Norton Security, MBAM, MBAE, and Hit Man Pro. But, using the AVG PC Tune Up program caused such disastrous problems with my computer, that I had to resort to restoring an Image Backup that I had created on my external portable Seagate disc drive to put my computer back to its NORMAL operating condition before the installation of these 2 AVG programs. While I am NOT a computer expert, I "think" that just using the AVG Anti Virus program, by itself, is "probably" OK. This posting is intended to provide a warning to MBAM/MBAE users about the disastrous experience that I had after downloading and using these 2 programs: AVG Anti Virus and AVG PC Tune Up.
