What is ShieldFix PC Cleaner?

ShieldFix PC Cleaner poses as a PC optimization tool, which you can use to scan your computer for free; however, you can only fix the problems by purchasing the software. After careful observation in our internal lab, it has been found that the displayed scan results may not always be trustworthy and might only serve a reason to make unsuspecting users buy the product. Thus, ShieldFix PC Cleaner has been categorized as a PUP, or potentially unwanted program. We are not saying that if you register and buy the software, you will be ripped-off or that the app is dysfunctional. We are simply pointing out that this program uses an aggressive marketing technique to make sure it gets sold. There is a more worrisome issue with regard to the distribution of the software though. It can be found in freeware bundles together with malicious software. If this is how ShieldFix PC Cleaner has entered your computer, you might have a number of problems to handle. Please read on in order to learn more about the potential risks and why we suggest that you delete ShieldFix PC Cleaner from your PC. test test test Download Removal Tool100% FREE spyware scan and

Where does ShieldFix PC Cleaner come from?

While we refer to the software as ShieldFix PC Cleaner, it is, in fact, called PC Cleaner. But, since there are several applications out there with this name, it is easier to identify it by adding its developer’s name. This software is available for download from its official website at shieldfix.com/products/pc-cleaner/. It is quite an informative and professional-looking website, to be fair. However, the problem is that this is not the only way this program is spread over the net. It is also distributed in free software packages together with malware infections. And that raises some concerns. If you install such a bundle and do not decline the additional unwanted or malicious programs, you will let a whole bunch of threats onto your computer. That is why we recommend running a system scan after removing ShieldFix PC Cleaner.

How does ShieldFix PC Cleaner work?

ShieldFix PC Cleaner is not a new invention, of course. It is very similar to PC Cleaner Pro and PC Optimizer, to name a few other applications from the same category. This potentially unwanted program is promoted as the “best one available on the software market today” on its website, which is a rather bold statement. You need to know that there are many reliable and cheaper products on the market that can fix your registry issues and clean your computer. Since ShieldFix PC Cleaner seems too pushy to make you register, it is possible that the scan results it displays may be a bit exaggerated. Although the scan may return with hundreds of issues, the software does not give you a detailed report regarding the actual problems, which other programs usually do. If you pay $24.50, you can fix the problems. All in all, we suggest that you remove ShieldFix PC Cleaner because it is just not as reliable as it wants to appear to be.

How do I remove ShieldFix PC Cleaner?

However, since this program may have come with malware infections on-board, you are better off using a reliable online scanner to run a full system scan to see if there is anything else to take care of.
