What is Perfect PC Cleanup?
Perfect PC Cleanup is a program that is advertised as a system optimizer. The name suggests that it is somehow superior to other available optimizers, but although it is deemed to be “perfect,” our research team warns that it is just a PUP (potentially unwanted program) that cannot meet your expectations. If you go to perfectpccleanup.com to learn more about this program, you might be convinced that it can clean up space, fix issues, provide protection against malware, enhance PC performance, and remove junk. It all sounds great, and for a price of $19.99, the PUP might truly seem like the perfect tool. It is not. For one, you definitely cannot rely on this program to protect you against malware. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have tested the program on an infected computer, and it failed to find real threats. When it comes to other features, the application cannot offer anything too spectacular either, and that is why we recommend deleting Perfect PC Cleanup without further hesitation. Keep reading to learn more.
How does Perfect PC Cleanup work?
According to our researchers, Perfect PC Cleanup is quite similar to Power System Care, Advanced Speedup 2018, Speedy SystemCare, and many other well-known system optimizers that require removal. The digital signature of this PUP points to sparkpcsupport.com, and, at this time, there are no clones we could list for you. All in all, whether it is a unique application or a clone of something else, you shouldn’t trust it. If you have downloaded the app from the website mentioned above, it is possible that your operating is clean and you do not need to worry about removing other PUPs or malicious threats. On the other hand, if you downloaded Perfect PC Cleanup using an installer that offered other programs bundled together, it is crucial that you scan your operating system immediately. Install a trusted malware scanner and use it to inspect your operating system. If you are lucky, you will learn that the PUP is the only thing that should be on your mind. If other threats are found, do not hesitate to research and delete them ASAP.
If Perfect PC Cleanup has scanned your operating system already, it is likely that you have been warned about alleged “Malware,” “Privacy Traces” (whatever that means), and “Temporary Junks.” The number of these “issues” might appear to be extremely high, and that is meant to make you activate the licensed version of the PUP or call (833)-893 -7474. Even if you are informed that hundreds of megabytes of “Disk space can be freed,” you need to think before you act. Needless to say, if you call the number, you will be pushed to pay for the full version of Perfect PC Cleanup. The phone operators could provide you with all sorts of intimidating information just to speed up the process. Of course, we do not claim that you would be introduced to false information. Even the scanner results, according to our analysts, are not fake. It’s just that the PUP’s scanner identifies temporary files and other harmless components as “issues” that, allegedly, need fixing. You definitely should not waste your money on that because the provided services are not worth it.
How to remove Perfect PC Cleanup
You could uninstall Perfect PC Cleanup at Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features, but we suggest following the instructions below. They show where the components of the potentially unwanted program actually are, and since the process is very simple to follow and shouldn’t take you a long time to complete, we think it could be a great lesson. Once you learn how to eliminate files and registry entries, you become more experienced, and that might help you when dealing with other PUPs or malware in the future. Of course, we do not want you to face malicious threats in the future, and that is why another thing we suggest doing is installing anti-malware software. In fact, if you do this, you can forget about the manual removal of Perfect PC Cleanup altogether because the software will take care of that automatically.
