Avast Ultimate is one of the most comprehensive internet security suites around. While it includes anti-virus software at its heart, it also provides additional features you'd struggle to find in similar bundles. This means you also get an automatic updater for your software, a file shredder to ensure data is properly deleted from your harddrive, as well as ransomware protection.

There are privacy protections included, too, not least via the SecureLine VPN, and a password manager manager, too. Avast Cleanup offers useful optimization utilities on top, though, such as help repair outstanding issues with the Windows registry, as well as delete junk files from temporary and cache folders, on top of general tuning for improved performance.

Altogether, Avast Ultimate isn't the cheapest security and privacy platform out there, but it's one of the most comprehensive, and the ability to better protect and control your critical data are definite selling points.

The only real negative is that Avast keeps spinning off its services into separate products, means you can expect repeated pop-up ads on your screen telling you that you need to fix something - only to find that feature isn't included in your subscription, making you feel that perhaps you would have been better going with a competitor that does include everything.

Just keep in mind that there are other options beyond this list of the best repair software for PC, but many of those can either do a poor job or install other software which could end up leaving you worse off. Worst case, you might want to start fresh in which case take a look at our best home computers.

You get an automatic scanner and optimizer that should take care of a great many common PC problems, as well as the ability to drill down deeper into what ails your computer.

There are modules to deal with defragmentation, freeing up space on congested hard drives, managing your system restore points and more. The free trial lasts for 30 days, which is very generous. We found it sends rather a lot of marketing emails, but you can unsubscribe. Available in both free and premium versions, Glary Utilities is a well-rounded solution for generally PC maintenance as well as potentially speeding up boot times and responsiveness.

Potentially more useful is the Context Menu Manager, which addresses the entries on the right-click menu - too many of these, or attempts at over-complicating them, can leave a significant lag between clicking the button and the menu appearing, so this is good to see. System Ninja used to be a really good app, but time has passed it by.

Luckily, you can get away with using the free version for most basic PC optimization tasks. Even if you want to use the free trial, it asks that you input a payment method. It would be fine if it did this as you subscribed, but to lock the trial behind a payment data grab - even if it takes no money - seemed wrong to us.

AVG Tuneup is far from being a bad app, despite its bad habit as you activate the trial. We feel that there are better available elsewhere, but you lose nothing in trying it out. This is a decent suite of tools with a nice slant toward learning about how your PC works.
