What is One10 PC Cleaner?
One10 PC Cleaner is another PC optimization tool that promises to quickly remove junk files, program and browsing clutters, and refresh the system registry. This should help to boost the speed of the computer. It has been observed that One10 PC Cleaner might slightly change its name, for example, it might appear on the system as One10_PC_Cleaner as well; however, we are sure that it is the same program as One10 PC Cleaner, and it is going to act identically. Unfortunately, One10 PC Cleaner is not a very trustworthy application even though it seems to be so. In fact, specialists classify it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) in most cases because it might really act in an undesirable way. We will tell you more about the activities One10 PC Cleaner is going to perform further in this article.
What does One10 PC Cleaner do?
Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com have thoroughly tested this potentially unwanted program and noticed that it tends to connect to the 104.237.195.181 IP address from time to time. It does that in order to get particular information from this database. Unfortunately, it means that it will use your Internet connection every day. According to our researchers, this program will act behind your back day after day even though you close it because it creates One10_PC_Cleaner, Winoneexe, Winsome, and Mspan values in the RUN registry key (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run) in order to be able to launch the moment Windows OS loads up. In order to stop the activities of this potentially unwanted program, you should delete it fully. Unfortunately, this is the only way to do that.
We do not recommend keeping One10 PC Cleaner also because it is not a trustworthy PC optimizer. In fact, we doubt that it can improve the performance of the computer too because its cleaner only remove files stored in the %Temp% folder. If users decide to enable the antimalware function, they are asked to upgrade the application, i.e. to buy its full version. Unfortunately, this means that the application is basically useless. It has been observed that it not only seeks to convince you to upgrade it, but also wants that you dial 1-866-921-9559. In order to scare users into doing that, One10 PC Cleaner will show pop-ups with such texts:

Where does One10 PC Cleaner come from?
Specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have not managed to find an official web page of One10 PC Cleaner, which means that this potentially unwanted program is spread somehow differently. The most likely scenario is that this piece of software is distributed in software bundles together with other programs. Users tend not to read the information provided to them while installing new programs, so they often agree with the installation of untrustworthy programs themselves. Of course, they do not know about that. This potentially unwanted program is definitely not the only one that uses this method (bundling) to enter systems, so we highly recommend installing a security tool on the system. It will make sure that malware cannot sneak onto your PC.
