ProPcCleaner

ProPcCleaner is an application developed by Rainmaker Software Group LLC. The program itself seems to be very useful: it promises to boost the system’s performance, reduce various registry issues, and remove unnecessary files.

If it happens that you have downloaded this program from some kind of untrustworthy third-party website, you should remove it as soon as possible.
