Basically, yes, except where you have "System Reserved", I have my
Windows7 D:\ which contains the Executable Programs I've installed
(LibreOffice, SeaMonkey Suite, Family Tree Maker, etc)

Avg, certainly was my Anti-Virus of choice, but can't say I've heard of 
"AVG Tuneup". AVG would be on my D:\ ... which is the only drive NOT to 
be on the "Deletion List" when I boot into Win7 ..... YET!!

Sorry, can't look at you support.avg.com link content ATM as I'm 
guessing I've reached my monthly download limit and my ISP is severally 
limiting anything to do with my Browser!! ;-(

Still, Feb 20 isn't too far away!! (Gotta look on the bright side of life!!)
