What is Magic PC Cleaner?
Magic PC Cleaner is one of those applications that come forth offering to clean your system and improve your computer’s performance. The problem is that such programs seldom live up to their promises. In fact, computer security experts always point out that system optimization tools usually just cause more harm, instead of actually fixing your system. If you happen to have Magic PC Cleaner installed, and you do not know how this program entered your PC, you should definitely remove it once and for all. While you are at it, check your computer for more applications that might have arrived uninvited.
Where does Magic PC Cleaner come from?
Potentially unwanted programs are rather diverse when it comes to their distribution methods. Usually, they can be downloaded from their official homepages, because technically they function just like any other program out there. At the same time, we cannot say that Magic PC Cleaner or anything like it is a dangerous computer infection or an extreme security threat because computer optimization tools are distributed out in the open. These programs do not hide their presence, and they seem to be quite transparent about their intentions. However, you will soon see that it is not exactly so.
For instance, you may download Magic PC Cleaner from softfix.com, but that is obviously not the only source out there. The program could be promoted via pop-up ads you encounter when you visit various commercial websites. Sometimes you may also find an ad that will try to convince you that you must install Magic PC Cleaner. Also, it is possible that this application gets distributed bundled with freeware, and you could have installed this program on your PC accidentally.
Whichever it might have been, the point is that avoiding this application is not as hard as avoiding a Trojan or a ransomware infection. So as long as you remain careful and vigilant, you should be able to save yourself the trouble of dealing with such computer security issues.
What does Magic PC Cleaner do?
According to the official homepage, Magic PC Cleaner is “the most advanced PC cleaner to take care of your day to day computer’s general issues. It is the lightest and the fastest PC cleaner.” However, if you were to ask any computer expert about PC cleaners, they would tell you that such applications are like double-edged swords. While a good computer cleaner can improve your system’s performance, it might also accidentally delete some temporary files that you needed.
Our research shows that Magic PC Cleaner mostly cleans temporary files and clears browser cashes, although you could easily do that yourself, too. What’s more, the application has fewer functions than most of the free products out there, but it still requires that you paid $29.95USD for the full version of this program, that should fix all of the detected issues.
The question is, of course, whether you really have all those issues displayed on the program’s interface. Not to mention that even if you download the free version from the main website, it would only scan your computer, and then the program would demand that you paid. Our team says that with the limited information provided by this application, a user is forced to trust this app blindly, and they cannot know which files or applications could end up being deleted during the system clean-up. Therefore, it is for the best to get rid of this program because there are so many suspicious and unclear aspects of it.
