AVG PC Tune Up Warning!
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. While I am NOT a computer expert, I "think" that just using the AVG Anti Virus program, by itself, is "proba...

also hate to be the bearer of bad news - not only is AVG no longer the great little program it was, but their tune-up software was never good.
and since their by-out by Avast, the whole program, while better than no protection, doesn't deliver enough positives to counter act the negatives.
especially since the Windows free, in-built Defender security program ranks higher than most of the paid-for security suites.
and add the free CCleaner tune-up, maintenance program, or even the inbuilt cleanmgr program or Storage Sense in Win10 and there is no need to pay for anything 3rd party.

I would have thought the default settings should be sufficient.
but, as said, it's crap and I haven't use it.
these tune-up programs can be over zealous and cause more harm than help, so use due-diligence and do your research first.
investigate what each setting changes and why, let Google be your friend.
obviously check out any inbuilt help documentation and the AVG website for supporting material.

since no-one here uses AVG tuneup, plus the product and company have fallen from grace, and the fact you are going to be asking them for help anyway, I'll close this for now.
if you hear back from them, in itself, that will be a small miracle, feel free to start a new post with your findings as it may help others in the future.
all the best.
