What PC Optimizer Pro is and what does it do?

This PC Optimizer Pro was developed by Xportsoft Technologies, and is according to the website that provides it: 

“An Award-winning PC Optimization tool that optimize your PC for superior performance by cleaning invalid registry enteries, junk files and Internet junk.”

 Why you need to remove PC Optimizer Pro

The PC Optimizer Pro might exhibit quite a few traits of that would resemble false system security software. Firstly it incorrectly scans the users system and displays bogus alerts that the system is infected. By doing so it disguises itself and may appear to be a genuine AV/Anti-Spyware tool. Also just like so many other dubious security software it demands a payment for a fix after a scan, you’ll be asked to sign up for their bogus service in order to remove false infections within a system. These symptoms are kind of the classic behavior within the circle of suspicious security software. But! Unlike most of them PC Optimizer Pro does not lock up your interface or disables a bunch of .exe files, for instance a lot of similar kind of software of this type will disable user’s ability to use the task manager or even the basic explorer. Thus it is up to a discussion whatever PC Optimizer Pro is genuine security system software. It could be considered as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) as it does not exhibit any aggressive traits that are often associated with rougware and sometimes as it often comes in bundled might alter your browser settings e.g. hijack your home page, install a toolbar etc, thus these are the feature more common with the PUP. Nonetheless total removal of PC Optimizer Pro is required ASAP, as it could expose your sensitive data to a third-party, and that is something that you don’t want!?

How did I get PC Optimizer Pro on my system?

There might be many various ways that PC Optimizer Pro could get on your system. But the most common one is that it comes with a bundled free software download, thus you have always be careful with what you’re downloading or installing on your system. The other common way of infection is an unsafe behavior on the internet e.g. clicking on malicious link, a suspicious drive-by-download. One could even download it straight from the official website, but I couldn’t imagine why would someone do that, especially as there a so much more legit, genuine programs of this kind on the market.
