The AVG Enhanced Firewall protects you from malicious attacks by examining communications on each network port. When the Firewall recognizes an intrusion attempt it will immediately block it and keep your private information safe from inbound attacks, as well as outbound attacks where malicious software takes control of your computer and attempts to cause damage to other people.

The AVG Enhanced Firewall also includes smart intrusion detection capabilities to keep your home wired or wireless networks secure.

Clean install of Windows every now again is far more beneficial.And people moan about Windows doing automatic updates but will happily install software that’ll update all your programs? F that.



    i disagree. if someone gives me a pc running slow, it's easier to run this than reinstall windows, and all their programs, then faff around with all the settings they had. just disabling start up programs and deleting temp crap can make a huge difference, and perhaps a defrag if it's an HDD. like with any tool, it's what you do with it that counts. you could use a hammer to fix things, and also to break things

    fantastic, thanks. tune up is a great tool if used right. when someone gives me a pc going slow, installing this and running a few things makes it easier than doing it manually, disabling a billion start up programs and deleting years of temp files and crap

    Easily done as the correct button isn't that obvious. That also happened to me first time I ran through this but I was doing it wrong. If you get to the Payment screen you have gone to far. After downloading and installing the setup file you have to navigate to a button labelled 'My Subscriptions" (Think it was top left on the "My AVG" menu). Paste in the code and you are done.

    I feel sorry for those that use programs like AVG tune up..


    Why? I consider myself computer competent and this program saves loads of time manually updating various software, changing startup loading after each update etc. If you value time, then this with the free antivirus is a no brainer

Incidentally I've noticed his disk usage never drops below 100% (hence crawling) no matter what I try, do you think that's a virus throttling it?


    hi, you may have tried a search. I too had the 100 percent disc usage problem. There may be as many as 3 elements within windows that need disabling and preventing from recurring. Unfortunately i cannot remember exactly how it was solved. Search for 100 percent disc use. I still cannot be sure mine will not reoccur, good luck with yours and don't stop with the first solution you find

    I wouldnt knock it. AVG have a fairly decent track record. Tune up programs used to screw up computers in the past but they are a bit more sophisticated these days. Ive done all the program removal stuff and windows reinstallation but its laborious. This works fine. Heat from me.

    It's not that …It's not that complicated:https://www.howtogeek.com/162683/pc-cleaning-apps-are-a-scam-heres-why-and-how-to-speed-up-your-pc/Just follow the few tips listed, pretty straight forward and saves having to install an extra program. In fact in just a few moments you could schedule the tasks to run automatically on a schedule daily/weekly/monthly etc. so you don't have to keep doing it yourself Well said.



    I don't find it complicated either, but many people do. I have looked at that link you provided and and all they are basically saying is don't pay for purely cleanup tools. This is or at least was when first posted here by the OP, free software that is a well known and a pretty good antivirus. The author on the link you refer to based his opinion on a test he did an absolute minimum of three years ago and a test done by a now defunct site eight years ago, which is a very long time when dealing with computers and software. On the face of it, it also doesn't cover windows 10 although I know it pretty much does, but a lot of people wont know that.

    So I am sticking to, those who can do it themselves great and those who can't will find this a useful free tool. (edited)

    Thanks for this for others. I personally wouldn't use avg for various reasons and I myself use Nod32. Great for people who don't know how to edit the startup and how to remove stubborn programs. But once again, it's down to your level of computer knowledge, which in the end helps more.

    if it was so easy, people wouldn't have a load of temp files and auto running programs and no one would bother making programs like this. even to someone who knows how to do this, it can be QUICKER and EASIER using this than faffing around going into various folders and deleting stuff. certainly it's easy to tell someone over the phone to download and install this and run 2 or 3 options than try and explain how to do it without tuneup

    Impossible to say without examining the PC as there could be a number of reasons. Does he have an up to date anti virus product already installed? Scan for a virus first and then ensure you have an ad blocker installed on all browser programs (google how to do it) - ads running in the background can bring a PC to a halt.

    Install windows. Update. Install basic programs, graphics drivers. Ccleaner.
    Crack Windows =P you know who u r
    Only then install malwarebytes.
    Scan. Install backup software. Run Ccleaner to lose temp / install files.
    Ccleaner to remove old reg keys.
    Backup system.
    Never install windows again.
    Never ever use a freaking tune up program.
    Never use an all in one driver install program.
    If you aren't playing where you shouldn't be AV's are useless.
    Tune up programs do more harm than good.
    Even installing a codec pack is bad.
    Only install what you need when you need it.

    Computers are just a tool and most people don't care how they work and do not want to spend time learning the detailed knowledge required to have any idea how to do the things you refer to. Software like this can help keep their PC working a little faster or better and is far less likely to mess it up they they would be.
