How to "Pimp" Your Computer

The Avira+TuneUp bundle offers all about making your computer perform at its peak. So in celebration, we suggest five easy ways to "pimp" your device:

1. The most likely reason your computer is running slow is because a virus or spyware snuck onto your computer somehow. You can scan your computer and disable most malware (for FREE) by downloading our AntiVir Removal Tool – which work alongside whatever antivirus software you already have 2. If your computer is more than a year old, your System Registry has the equivalent of cobwebs. Clean up missing DLLs, invalid file associations, broken shortcuts and other clutter. You’ll need a system optimization utility to do it – like our friends at TuneUp 3. To free up more space on your hard drive, run the built-in Windows Disk Cleanup utility to remove unnecessary files. Just type "disk cleanup" in the Start Menu search box and hit enter 4. Turn off Windows Defender (don’t worry, we’ll protect you). Microsoft tells you how to do it in this tutorial 5. Do all of the above, and more, by downloading the Avira+TuneUp bundle today!
