If you think that SmartPCFix will scan your PC and warn you about realistic threats – you are wrong. The supposedly beneficial system optimizer is completely useless when it comes to spyware detection and removal, which is why you should not pay money for its licensed version. The application is very similar to the previously reported PC MightyMax, as it is not a fake tool but it does not work reliably. All in all, even though the program may detect some issues, it certainly should not be trusted. It is possible that the optimizer will attempt to delete authentic, harmless files and will overlook serious system issues. Please continue reading to learn more about SmartPCFix removal. Read more »
