What is Power PC Care 2018?
Power PC Care 2018 was classified as a potentially unwanted program or a PUP in short. Even though its description may claim the software can optimize the computer to increase its performance speed, in reality, there is not knowing whether the tool is capable of it. Our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com doubt it, and if you continue reading our article, we will explain to you why. Unfortunately, the only way to know if the software works as described is to buy its full version as the free version you can download for free only identifies what might be wrong and does not solve any issues. Consequently, we find the application rather useless and if you think so too, we invite you to use the instructions placed below the article. They will show how to delete the PUP manually, although if it looks too difficult, you could employ a legitimate antimalware tool instead.
Where does Power PC Care 2018 come from?
The PUP can be found on a website named systemlogics.org. However, our researchers think there is a chance Power PC Care 2018 could be bundled with other software. If this is true, some users could download it accidentally as not everyone reviews information, including additional program suggestion on the installation wizard. This is how some applications manage to enter the system without the user realizing it. The best way to avoid unwanted tools is to have a closer look at the terms and suggestions displayed during the installation process. Users should also keep it in mind unreliable file-sharing web pages are more likely to bundle their installers with untrustworthy applications, which is why it is best not to download setup files from the torrent and other sites alike.
How does Power PC Care 2018 work?
The PUP settles in by creating a lot of folders and Registry entries. What’s more, all Power PC Care 2018 created folders should have unique names consisting of a phrase “Power PC Care 2018 for” and the computer’s name, for example, if the device’s name is User the applications directories should be called Power PC Care 2018 for User. One of the tool’s created files should be its icon located on the Desktop. Clicking it should open the software’s window and allow the user to start scanning the computer. The PUP is supposed to find issues that could worsen the device’s performance by making it work slower and so on.
Nonetheless, after having a look at the results, we doubt Power PC Care 2018 could optimize the system and make it work faster. It is because many of the identified issues were old registry entries. Our researchers say a lot of similar potentially unwanted programs identify such data as one of the reasons for slower performance while in reality getting rid of it does not bring any visible changes. Under such circumstances, we would not recommend purchasing the application’s license if you do not want to risk buying a useless tool.
How to remove aPower PC Care 2018?
It seems to us there is no use from a tool that can only scan the system and show issues. Thus, if you do not plan on purchasing the PUP’s full version, we believe there is no point in keeping it on the computer. If you think it should be erased too, you could use the instructions placed at the end of this text to remove it manually. Of course, if the process seems a bit too tricky, you could get a legitimate antimalware tool and erase Power PC Care 2018 with it.
