Is AVG's PC TuneUp 2014 Worth Downloading?

A recent purchase from Newegg came with a free license for AVG PC TuneUp 2014. The license card lists the major features of the product. I already can do these things with Win 8 and/or Ccleaner. Am I missing something? Is the product worth downloading or is it just another unnecessary PC optimizer?

Optimizers usually cause more problems than help these days. Bonus is that most of the no-name ones are bundled with spyware that I have to clean off of systems.

An interesting experience was with Lenovo's Rapid BootShield which was advertised by Lenovo to keep startup time "optimized" but did the exact opposite on two brand new systems. As soon as they were removed, startup was fast.
 
Thanks for your responses. Over 200 people have looked at this thread and not a single one had anything positive to post. I guess this app earns a unanimous "thumbs down".
