It was produced and developed by TuneUp Software GmbH, headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, and co-founded by Tibor Schiemann and Christoph Laumann in 1997.[1][2] In 2011, AVG Technologies acquired TuneUp Software.[3]{{As of|2017}}, thirteen major versions of TuneUp Utilities have been released and the number of included components have been increased from sixteen to thirty five. TuneUp Utilities has attained generally positive reviews, although multiple reviewers did not approve of its price for value. Features{{Refimprove section|date=July 2018}}AVG PC TuneUp consists of 32 different components, all of which can be accessed from within a central hub, called TuneUp Start Center. Most of these components can also be invoked from the Start menu. TuneUp Start Center itself can show the components either in a category view (default) or in a list view. Status and recommendationsThe Status and recommendations category houses four sub-sections: 1-Click Maintenance, Performance Optimizer, Fix Problems and Live Optimization. The 1-Click Maintenance section runs multiple routine maintenance tools at once. The Performance Optimizer and Fix Problems utilities are intended to provide tips to identify and fix potential problems and increase performance, such as disabling unnecessary visual effects and disabling or removing unused Windows services and programs. Live Optimization, according to the application's author, is intended to improve the responsiveness of Windows applications by tweaking their execution priorities. System optimizationsThe Optimize system section includes TuneUp Program Deactivator, which unloads programs from memory and prevents their further automatic execution, an alternative to uninstalling them. While disabled programs continue to consume disk space, they no longer affect the startup time, the shutdown time and the system performance.[6] Other components include a defragmentation tool, a registry cleaner, and a startup manager to replace MSConfig. Disk cleanupThe Gain disk space section itself is a disk cleanup component which replaces Windows Disk Cleanup. It also gives access to TuneUp Disk Space Explorer (a disk space analyzer) and TuneUp Shredder (a data erasure tool). Troubleshooting toolsThe Fix problems section provides access to TuneUp Repair Wizard which allows users to selectively repair problems that TuneUp Utilities cannot automatically detect, e.g., icons getting corrupted or items like My Computer and Recycle Bin having permanently vanished from Windows Desktop. Also in this category, there is TuneUp Disk Doctor. It can check the integrity of files stored on hard disk drives and salvage damaged files. It can also scan for physical defects known as bad sectors and isolate them. TuneUp Disk Doctor is a graphical replacement for Windows CHKDSK. Other items include a task manager, a system information tool and an undeletion tool. Windows customizationThe last section provides access to TuneUp Styler and TuneUp System Control. TuneUp System Control is a program that allows access to some of the obscure or harder-to-access settings of Microsoft Windows, similar to Tweak UI. TuneUp Styler allows for customization of the Windows user interface by changing the desktop appearance, icons, and the logon and startup screens. Turbo ModeThe Turbo Mode, accessible from the bottom of Start Center, gives system a performance boost by temporarily disabling some of Windows services and features of the user's choice, such as Windows Aero themes and visual effects. [6][8] As reported on numerous sites on the internet (reference topic: AVG Turbo Mode System Restore Error), one of the Windows features, System Restore, is no longer accessible in this mode and provides an error code when attempting to access this feature requiring an AVG reset to "Standard Mode" to re-enable this feature. Some have reported that prior restore points are deleted when "Turbo Mode" is activated; However, this is not confirmed, and has been reported to AVG IT for correction for some time now. Economy ModeThe Economy Mode accessible from the bottom of Start Center reduces battery usage by closing background programs and underclocking the CPU. Duplicate FinderThe Duplicate Finder comes with version 14. It is accessible from the "CLEAN UP" tab located in Start Center, which finds and removes cloned photos, music and files which could be wasting hard drive space.[4] Flight ModeThe Flight Mode is an extended version of the Economy Mode, but also disables Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices.[5] Development{{Refimprove section|date=October 2016}}
The first version of the software, TuneUp 97, was released in 1997.[3] Since then, new versions have been released over the years.[7]
Critical receptionTuneUp Utilities received generally positive reviews, despite the product secretly installing pop-up advertisements without notifying the user. Computer Shopper magazine reviewed TuneUp Utilities 2009 and gave it a score of 8 out of 10. It commended TuneUp Registry Cleaner as well as the hard-drive-related components of the product but also noted that some tools are superficially implemented and that this suite lacks an antivirus and a personal firewall.[25] TuneUp Utilities 2009 was voted #37 of "The Top 100 Products of 2009" and won the award "Best Utility Suite" of Computer Shopper.[26] CNET also reviewed TuneUp Utilities 2009 and gave it 5 stars out of 5. “To call TuneUp Utilities 2009 useful would drastically understate the situation”, said Seth Rosenblatt, an associate editor with CNET. He assessed TuneUp Utilities as a powerful and easy-to-use set of tools, with its disk cleanup and registry cleaner the “bread-and-butter” of the entire set.[27]PC World's Preston Gralla reviewed the 2010 version and commented that TuneUp Utilities is a comprehensive suite that “includes everything from a startup optimizer to a {{sic|drive|r}} defragmenter, from an overall speed optimizer to a Windows Registry cleaner, and more.” However, he said that the high price of the entire suite ($50) might make the purchase decision more difficult.[18] Preston had also previously reviewed TuneUp Utilities 2009 for PC Advisor and gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 stars.[28]PC Magazine reviewed TuneUp Utilities 2011 and gave it a score of 4 out of 5. “Overall, the software does a fine job of revitalizing a worn PC," commented Jeffrey L. Wilson, PC Magazine software analyst. He appreciated the product's one-click repair feature and the subsequent reduction in his test PC's boot-time. However, Wilson criticized the software license that only permits installation on three PCs, contrasting it with Iolo System Mechanic 10, a competing product that allows an unlimited number of installations in the same household.[21]TuneUp Utilities also received a Softpedia Pick award from Softpedia.[29] Although Alex Muradin, Softpedia editor, expressed concern over the lack of proper technical support for TuneUp Utilities 2006, he gave this product a final score of 5 out of 5. However, it is notable that he gave this product a subscore of 3 out of 5 for pricing/value.[30] Christian Immler characterizes TuneUp Utilities as a classic amongst tuning tools.[31] CNET reviewed TuneUp Utilities 2015 and gave it a score of 3,5 out of 5. “AVG PC TuneUp is a well-designed and effective tool that mostly accomplishes what it claims. Its advantage lies in its streamlined user flow and one-click-friendly design”, said Eddie Cho, a tech editor and producer for CNET Download.[32]Notes{{Refbegin}}
