How to speed up your PC in 3 steps
Is your PC suffering from old age? Is it taking a long time to boot? Are websites running slow and you can’t play games anymore?
AVG TuneUp can help speed up your PC.

Step 1
Download AVG TuneUp
Download, install, and get ready to tune up your PC.
Download AVG TuneUp here. Then click the downloaded file to install AVG PC TuneUp®.
After launching PC TuneUp, you will be greeted by the welcome screen. You can skip the scan to get to the main dashboard.
Once there, click on the Speed Up tile to start speeding up your PC.
Step 2
Stop background programs
If your PC is constantly busy doing something even when you’re not, or you get lots of annoying balloon tips, then it’s time to put background programs on “standby” mode with Program Deactivator.
PCs, old or new, face one stark reality: The more programs you use, the slower they become.
Here's the cure: Our 2017 release of AVG TuneUp comes with a complete reboot of its patented 'Programs-On-Demand' technology. It puts draining programs into a smart Sleep Mode and reduces their impact on PC performance, battery life, network and storage to nearly zero.
Step 3
Unleash hidden Windows® power
Programs aren't the only things that can slow down your PC. Windows has many hidden parts that constantly beg for your PC’s precious resources. Using Turbo Mode can stop Windows features from slowing down your PC.
On the main dashboard, click on the Turbo Mode (gauge icon) button in the lower left corner.
You’ll be asked a few simple questions about what you want to turn off. You can also choose to set Turbo Mode on permanently, or only for when you need to squeeze out that extra bit of power.
TIP! If you don’t know what some of these features do, just hover over the individual icons for a detailed description.
Turbo Mode
Turns off more than 70 hard-to-find & often unneeded features in Windows® such as Media Player sharing, pen recognition, or remote assistance processes.
It’s simply the best tool for above-average performance when designing, video editing, gaming, or programming whether you use Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP SP3.
And Boom! You’re done.
Your PC should already be running faster.
