What is PC Repair Clinic?
You might have downloaded the free scanner by PC Repair Clinic, and now you do not know if you should pay for the full version of the program, or if you should remove it. You might already have your answer if you are researching your removal options, but if you are still on the fence about this whole thing, you can definitely get your answer here. Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has analyzed the PUP (potentially unwanted program), and it was found that while it does not show fictitious results to trick users into paying money for it, it is unlikely that its services are beneficial. In fact, we believe there are far better and more advantageous tools you could be investing in instead. If you are here only because you want to delete PC Repair Clinic from your operating system and browsers, check out the complete guide below. If you want to learn a little bit more, keep reading.
How does PC Repair Clinic work?
Before PC Repair Clinic starts scanning your system and pushing you to register for its full version, it has to convince you to install it. The official installer can be found on the Inkline Global, Inc. website, inklineglobal.com/products/pcrepairclinic/, but Windows users can also install it via pop-ups and bundled installers. While our research team does not recommend installing the PUP at all, you certainly do not want to install anything promoted by strange advertisements, websites, and installers. Why? Because that is how malware can slither in. Even if PC Repair Clinic cannot cause real problems, the programs installed along with it could be extremely malicious. Have you scanned your operating system already? If you have not, we suggest doing that right away to see if you need to remove anything else besides the suspicious PUP. And why exactly do you need to delete this PUP? First and foremost, it cannot provide you with comprehensive security, and despite its claims to scan the registry and find viruses, it is pretty much helpless. Do you want to waste money (at least 29.95 USD) on a program that does not really offer anything serviceable? Of course, you do not.
While it is up to you where you spend your money, and you might decide that the services offered by PC Repair Clinic are worth it, you definitely need to be more cautious about google.inklineglobal.com. That is the search tool that the PUP forces on its users. It takes over the homepage on Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers, and the users of the latter browser also have to deal with the default search provider modifications. So, what is the deal with this strange search tool? At the time of research, it did not work at all, and if any keywords were entered into the “Google Custom Search” field, no results were shown. The only thing shown was the helpline number (+1 (866) 612-4201) that users were suggested calling to get help. The search field also promoted a service that, allegedly, could offer “free PC tune up & optimization.” Clearly, we know that is not the truth, as the service is not free. Overall, it all points to the PUP being quite a useless and potentially unreliable program.
