Title: AVG PC Tune Up
Post by: jjandellis on May 10, 2011, 12:28:14 AM
Does anyone use AVG PC Tuneup?

Is it worth it, or it all a bit of a con? Are there better, cheaper alternatives? (its only letting me do my initial check/clean for free)

Another it dude helped me with this program to identify a lot of the shit that is on your hard drive. I had no clue a lot of the stuff that was on there, mainly temp files that were not cleared out using the the standard temp files clean that windows does when you ask it.

I did a full virus check after and got the latest ESET security software http://www.eset.co.uk/ and now all is good again.

Yes and no, it's nothing to really worry about, but you should fix it. It's a bit like leaving all your windows open, it doesn't mean you've been burgled but if you keep leaving them open one day you might be.
