Make your Windows PC cleaner and faster
Your PC isn’t getting any younger. Help optimize what’s slowing you down with Avast Cleanup Premium’s patented breakthrough technology.
- Put apps to sleep.
- Remove bloatware and forgotten programs.
- Defrag and optimize your hard drive.
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.
Background processes
Programs could be running in the background even when you’re not using them, hogging your PC’s memory and CPU.
Scheduled tasks
Some software may set 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 its background activity.
- ...and back to bed
Once you’re done using the program, we automatically put it back to sleep to help 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 up apps
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.
Boost the speed and reliability of your hard drive
Get your hard drive (HDD) working better
Defragmenting is a key factor in PC performance. It’s re-arranges files on your a hard drive, so you can access them faster. This makes your PC start up more quickly, reduces loading times, and creates snappier performance.
Make your solid-state drive (SSD) more reliable
Our tool, Optimize disks, scans your internal storage for potential file system errors. It also checks for issues with scattered data and problems with access rights. If it finds any issues, it gives you ways to fix them automatically. It also detects SSDs that don't need defragging.

Running out of disk space? Avast Cleanup scans your PC from top to bottom to remove gigabytes of leftover junk files from hundreds of applications, browsers, and even Windows.
- Clean up your browser.

- Clean registries.
- Clean browsers.

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.

Optimize your PC’s hard drive to reduce errors
Over time, your hard drive’s file and folder structure can become damaged, leading to data loss and crashes. Our Optimize disks tool helps prevent errors and cures hard drives or solid-state drives (SSDs). Here’s what we check for:
- Problems with your PC’s filing system
Your hard drive is structured like a book. It’s an index pointing to chapters and pages. If this index breaks, your PC will struggle to find files or folders. This can lead to missing files, applications no longer working, or even Windows crashing. Our tool checks for these errors and fixes them. - Corrupted files
Files on your hard drive can get damaged for various reasons, such as a sudden loss of power to your PC. You can use our tool to detect these errors and help fix them. - Loss of access rights to files
If you lose access to a file or folder you haven’t deleted, there’s likely to be something wrong with the access rights. This can happen after an update, the installation of an application, or even after a virus attack. Our tool checks for these errors and tries to cure them.
Update your programs automatically
Outdated programs can leave your PC vulnerable to bugs, crashes, and security risks. Our Software Updater regularly checks for updates to your programs and allows you to automatically install newer versions if you wish.
- 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
Outdated programs can leave your PC vulnerable to security risks. Our Software Updater helps patch security holes for you, saving you the hassle of finding, downloading, and installing the updates yourself.
To fix bugs
Bug fixes are part of many updates, so Software Updater helps you enjoy your software with fewer annoying crashes and error messages. We support the most popular applications, such as Adobe Reader, Skype, VLC Player, and WinRAR.
To get the latest features
New updates often bring new features. For example, VLC Player 3 added support for up to 8K and HDR video — something you’d miss if you never updated. Our Software Updater can automatically install the updates for you, so the next time you open your favorite app, any new features will be ready to go.
