Could someone PLEASE tell me how to get rid of PC Tuneup?!? I have been using AVG for years and love it, BUT this is BS. EVERY DAY it pops up asking me to buy it or remind me later!! I DO NOT WANT IT!!! I am VERY disappointed that AVG is shoving this down the throats of their customers!! Give the people the option NOT to buy or you might start losing a lot of customers!!

Hello TheBigBlind,

Pop-ups should disappear after PC Tuneup uninstallation (from add/remove programs).

Thank you

uninstall pc tuneup another way?..

I can't even get my add/remove program to delete pc tuneup! I hate that I constantly have the icon on my lower task bar. When I use my system add/remove, it send me to avg and I have tried everything. Any other way to remove it? I am very happy with just the AVG Virus program and been using it for YEARS. Just updated to the 2013, and got PC TUNEUP. Please help get it off here!

I agree 100% with TheBigBlind regarding PC Tuneup aggressive promotion strategy.

I uninstalled it a few minutes ago, hoping that will get rid of the problem.
But PLEASE, AVG, no more of these aggravating tactics. I might go look elsewhere for an Antivirus.

Hello Rattlebones,

Only PC Tuneup popups which are displayed repeatedly, are displayed because of expired trial (most likely installed in AVG program).

Uninstallation from control panel should solve that.

Thank you
