Where does PC Cleaner come from?

For one, this application could be offered to you when you try uninstalling RegClean Pro. It shows that the applications are developed by the same team that tries to make financial profit by selling these questionable products to unsuspecting computer users.

Second, PC Cleaner can be downloaded onto your computer with your own permission from pcsupportdock.com and thephonesupport.com together with Systweak Support Dock and Advanced Disk Recovery. Last, but not least, PC Cleaner could also be bundled with freeware that is wildly available on third party file hosting websites although that distribution method is not too common.

What does PC Cleaner do?

When the application gets installed on your computer, it does not launch the scan automatically. You can choose whether you want to run the program or not. If you choose the run PC Cleaner, however, you will be offered to scan your computer, and the application will definitely “detect” a lot of questionable items. These items are grouped into such categories as Browser and internet itimes, Junk and temporary files, Windows and system and Applications and programs.

To fix the errors you can click “Fix Items” button, although the question is whether PC Cleaner can really detect all the system errors, and can it really fix them.

How to remove PC Cleaner?

According to computer security experts and users who have used PC Cleaner before, the main reason why this program enters your computer is money. Although it is not a rogue antispyware application which can be very aggressive into pushing you into purchasing a worthless product, PC Cleaner may prove to be rather annoying. It is especially noticeable when users contact the support service and instead of being told how to fix various errors, they are being offered to purchase various Systweak products.

It is clear that PC Cleaner is more of a marketing tool rather than a real computer optimization application. Therefore, it is recommended to uninstall PC Cleaner along with other programs and invest in a licensed antimalware tool that would protect your system from any potential threats.
