Hello Forum
Thanks for all the answers.
On my pc there is installed AVG free antivirus, in the middle of the interface is a light blue "Fix Performance" button, I clicked on it to see what it is, then new interfase opened, started a search, in the analisis mainly it found errors in the registry, other items not so important.
Can somebody tell me if this "fixer" isreliable(I tried to right click on any item, it did not give any details about the item),
In win 7 I used "Ccleaner" (which is yet not installed). Attached here two screenshots.
Answers will be appreciated.
Thanks

Spam or scam? Even if it's from AVG. Stay away from anything called "Tune Up", "Speed Up". What you're seeing, is what is called "Scareware".
Don't use any such performance fixer. Too often, such gives the user and computer more grief than joy.

TuneUp utilities used to be great, but once AVG bought it, they turned into a destroyer of PCs.
If you want to "tune up", you can use a free software, like CCleaner, Wise Care 365 or Glary Utilities.

Hello Friends,The way it's being offered and the "Oh My God" warnings is Scareware.
Thanks for the warnings !
In my previous win 7 I had AVG tuneup 2015 installed and used it for "cleaning and tuning", I'm starting to think this was the reason my win 7 system went 'caput'. several sleepless nights, now with the win 10 system, I ask everything before I do anything.
Now. are "glary utilities 5" and "WiseCare365" free ? after downloading I saw in their sites they have to be licensed.

Yes, they are free. There are some features, which require you to buy a licence, but they are not necessary.Now. are "glary utilities 5" and "WiseCare365" free ? after downloading I saw in their sites they have to be licensed.
I don't use AVG and haven't in a very long time. I also almost immediately dump anything in my email such as what you've posted. If I haven't subscribed (and I don't subscribe to any AV stuff) or if the sender isn't in my list of contacts, it gets deleted as junk.
