What’s slowing down my device?

The more programs you install and use, the slower your PC may become for three main reasons:

Startup items
Many programs may run automatically when you turn your PC on, significantly slowing its startup time.
page slash
Background processes
Programs could be running in the background even when you’re not using them, hogging your PC’s memory and CPU.

256-bit - encryption lock
Scheduled tasks
Your software often sets its own schedule and can suddenly come alive, using up resources and slowing down your PC.


Help improve your PC’s performance with Sleep Mode

Our PC tune-up process detects performance drains and allows you to stop them, without making you uninstall programs or disrupting your PC’s performance. The more programs you put to sleep, the fewer you’ll have running in the background, which can help optimize your PC’s performance.

  • Time to sleep
    Switch on Sleep Mode to freeze any program that may be slowing you down. While asleep, it won’t use up resources.
  • Wake up
    Launch the program you put to sleep, and let our smart algorithm automatically enable all of its background activity.
  • ...and back to bed
    Once you’re done using the program, we automatically put it back to sleep to stop it from slowing you down.

Remove junk programs and bloatware

  • Identify bloatware and long-forgotten programs
    Your PC could be slowed down by programs you haven’t used in ages or never wanted in the first place — trial versions, unwanted toolbars, or preinstalled software. These are a waste of space and speed, and may even be a security risk. Our App Uninstaller feature scans your PC for old apps and programs taking up significant space and lets you delete them more safely and without leftovers.
  • Clean it all up
    Take the guesswork out of figuring out which programs you no longer need with our cloud-based reputation and unneeded-program detection systems. If you’re afraid to uninstall them, you can temporarily remove apps with our Uninstall Simulator until you decide.

Defrag and care for your hard disk

  • Performance boost for your HDD
    Defragmenting is a key factor in PC performance: It’s the process of re-arranging files on a hard disk for faster access. You’ll enjoy faster startup times, less loading, and snappier performance overall.
  • Care for your SSD
    Our Disk Doctor scans your system disk for potential errors, including file system errors, data integrity issues, and access rights. If any issues are detected, it offers automatic fixes. It also detects SSDs (Solid-State Drives) that don't need to be defragged.

How do I get rid of daily clutter?

Whenever you use your PC, it can become cluttered with leftover files from Windows, your programs, or from browsing the web. We’ve got the cure.

Browser Cleaner

Browsers can store records of your activity and personal information like cookies, browsing history, login credentials, or caches. Reclaim space and enhance your privacy as well as browsing speed with automatic cleaning of your browsing history in today’s most popular browsers.

Effectively remove harmful bloatware

Bloatware refers to all the preinstalled software you don’t actually need and probably don’t want: apps you don’t use, distracting toolbars, expired software trials, and adware that plagues you with popups or even spies on you. Avast Cleanup will deep-scan your machine to root out every trace of PC bloatware.

Installer files
Installations can be messy. They leave behind temporary files that clog up your hard disk.

Cache
Temporary files left on your disk by programs and browsers.
Temporary system files
Your operating system and programs create temporary files that are left on your disk.
globe users

What’s automatic maintenance?

Your PC accumulates a ton of wasteful data every day but we’ve got your back. Our automatic maintenance helps you regularly and automatically remove these junk files.

Clean up your browser and disk
Remove leftover cache files and traces from your browser, programs, and Windows.
page slash
Remove broken shortcuts
Clean up your desktop in seconds by deleting “dead” shortcuts you never use.
Clean up your registry
Registry issues can result in program crashes and error messages. We help you fix your registry automatically as part of Avast Cleanup’s regular maintenance.

Disk Doctor

Over time, your hard disk file and folder structure could become damaged, leading to data loss and crashes. Our Disk Doctor helps prevent errors and cure your disk. Here’s what we check:

  • File system errors
    Your hard disk is structured like a book: An index pointing to chapters and pages. If this index is broken, your PC suddenly can’t find files or folders anymore. This can lead to missing files, applications no longer working or even Windows crashing. Our Disk Doctor checks for such structural errors and helps you fix them in no time.
  • Data integrity
    Files on your disk can become corrupt for various reasons, such as sudden power losses. Our Disk Doctor detects such errors and helps to fix them.
  • Access rights
    If you’re getting “You don’t have the privileges to access this file” (or similar) messages, then the access rights of files and folders got messed up. This can happen after an update, the installation of an application or even after a virus attack. Disk Doctor checks for such errors and tries to cure them.

  • Helps prevent security risks.
  • Attempts to fix bugs
  • Provides the latest features.

Why do I need software updates?

Software updates can be critical to keeping your PC running smoothly and safely. Here’s why you shouldn’t ignore them.

To avoid security risks
