Magic Disk, also known as Mgdisk, is a potentially unwanted program. At the time of research, our Anti-Spyware-101.com malware experts could not find an official download source that would represent this strange application.

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.

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 »
