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. http://windirstat.info/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. |

No, this scans for legitimate programs that has vulnerabilities and tells you how to fix them (usually download the latest version/patch)

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.
