CleanPCTool is related to a number of rogue anti-spyware programs, including PCPrivacyTool and YourPrivacyGuard among its clones. They all have the same website with the different name, and are all hosted at 87.117.252.11 in UK. According to its creators and user testimonials, CleanPCTool number-one anti-spyware program, designed to protect your privacy, clean up your disks from malware pests and so on and so forth. However, it does not mention its main quality: that it is a rogue scam.
Once inside, CleanPCTool will display misleading messages, system notifications and run falsified system scans. The reports of these scans will show that your system has been infected with trojans and other malware that were actually put there by the CleanPCTool itself. This is done with one purpose in mind: to dupe you into purchasing the "full" CleanPCTool version and empty your wallet by another $50. Our recommendation regarding CleanPCTool is this: get rid of this pesky parasite immediately by following the instructions in our CleanPCTool removal guide.

CleanPCTool is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only CleanPCTool can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads CleanPCTool trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, CleanPCTool offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, CleanPCTool does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as CleanPCTool, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install CleanPCTool, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as CleanPCTool, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
