What is System Health Checker?
System Health Checker is an extension for Google Chrome. It should make it easier to monitor the health of the system and fix issues before it is too late; however, the version specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have tested does not do anything beneficial, so even though it is not a malicious application that performs all kinds of undesirable activities on a user’s computer, researchers still recommend removing it from browsers as soon as possible. They have even classified this piece of software as a potentially unwanted application. Good news is that potentially unwanted programs are not harmful at all if compared to harmful malware, but they might still act in an undesirable way and cause problems, so they should not be kept installed, our specialists say. Since System Health Checker is not a harmful application, its removal should not be very complicated too, so remove it today without further consideration.
What does System Health Checker do?
To be frank, not much is known about System Health Checker and how it acts because its developers do not provide much information about it – its description consists of one sentence: “Monitor your system health and prevent before too late.” Also, it is very buggy, so users should not expect that it will be a beneficial piece of software. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com have made only one finding – this application only changes Google Chrome settings and, consequently, users cannot reach the Add-ons Manager and remove System Health Checker. Trustworthy programs do not act like this, so we cannot call this extension reputable. Yes, it might be updated one day, but there are no guarantees that it will become a beneficial application, so our suggestion would be to eliminate it today.
Where does System Health Checker come from?
There are two official websites users can download System Health Checker from voluntarily - http://systemhealthchecker.com/ and https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/system-health-monitor/mbmpjhclgodpjgbjhlnknfjdnjkijokf?hl=en (Google Chrome store). It can be said that users are forced to install this extension from its official website because they get a message “Add Extension to Leave” when they try to close this website without downloading a browser extension from it. Although two sources this Google Chrome extension can be downloaded from exist, not all the users get this extension from the web voluntarily. There are a number of users who have System Health Checker installed even though they have not willingly downloaded it from any of its sources. This suggests that this piece of software can travel in software bundles too. Potentially unwanted applications usually come together with third-party applications so that they could enter computers easier, so software developed by third parties could have been installed on your computer as well. It is not necessarily fully trustworthy, so it is very likely that this PUP is not the only piece of software you will have to detect and erase.
Most probably, you could not open the Add-ons Manager of Google Chrome if System Health Checker is ever installed on your PC because it will not allow you to access it. Do not worry; there is still a way to find out if it is really the one which has disabled it. If System Health Checker successfully enters computers, it creates its own folder mbmpjhclgodpjgbjhlnknfjdnjkijokf (a folder is named after the unique extension ID). It should be located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions and %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions. Can you find this folder in these two directories? If so, there is no doubt that this potentially unwanted program is active on your computer. You already know what we think about it, and we are not going to change our opinion – its removal is highly recommended.
