HotStar Registry Cleaner - How to remove

HotStar Registry Cleaner is an application, advertised as a facility to manage your Windows Registry Keys. If any errors are found among the entries, this program is suppose to fix these issues. It is a toll-free application which is quite suspicious. Why? Because it provides a complexed package of features that are constructed to enhance your computer system. Before actually doing any cleaning, registry keys are automatically stored in backup storage. You can even designate HotStar Registry Cleaner to regularly perform these clean-ups. It is created by Hites Technologies LLC. However, security researchers categorized it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that might end up in your computer system without proper authorization.
