Same as its clone (Super Cleanup), Super PC Cleanup falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs or PUPs. According to the software’s description located on its official website, the tool is supposed to get rid of registry errors, fix slow PCs, improve system performance, and make the computer more stable. However, the PUP does not suggest any free trials, which means it does not do a lot if you do not buy it. In fact, we do not think even the paid application’s version could be able to deliver what its description promises. That is because we noticed the program detects minor issues and our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com say fixing such problems would probably make no difference at all to the device’s performance, speed, etc. Therefore, we do not recommend wasting any time on it or spending your money for such a doubtful application. If you believe it might be a bad idea as well, we advise you to remove Super PC Cleanup with the instructions available below or an antimalware tool of your choice. Read more »
