Magic PC Cleaner virus - How to remove

Magic PC Cleaner has a reputation for not being a completely respectable system optimizer. On the other hand, almost all optimization tools are bound to cause trouble. They are completely unnecessary, but people fall for the promises of making operating systems function more smoothly and preventing idle behavior of repeating itself. After installation, unreliable security applications are known to present unrealistic results to scans and indicate that mechanisms are severely affected by errors in the system, personal profile, browsers and etc. In Program Files folder, a new subfolder will be created by the name of SystemOptimizer, containing MagicPcCleaner.exe file.

Characteristics of this rogue optimization tool

This is a product by SoftFiX company and it has a bunch of other security software available on its official website. This article is concerned with Magic PC Cleaner and its tendency to exaggerate errors that it manages to find in certain parts of the operating system. If it has gained access to your system, affected your Windows Registry Keys and is listed among ongoing processes in the Windows Task Manage, there are other features that are specific for this rogue optimizer.

On your desktop, there might be two files: Magic PC Cleaner.exe and MPCSetup.exe. If you notice that both of these executables are present among other shortcuts, you might have been tricked into installing the free version of this program. However, cleaning your system won’t be an available function in the sample, downloaded completely free-of-charge. It will simply scan your operating system and lay down the law that your OS is in a critical state. These accusations are slander and should not be taken seriously.

In reality, rogue system optimizers make a big deal about errors that might not be essential to fix. While this security tool won’t sabotage your Windows operating system or extremely influence its proceedings, it is capable of subtly spoiling your experience. Certain glitches can be noticed after an unreliable security tool manages to gain access to a device.

While this program is not malicious enough to be regarded as malware, its activity does raise questions and doubts.

According to this term, these pieces of software enter devices, insert entries and are launched after every time a computer system is reset.

This PUP will automatically run scans and recognize hundreds of errors. Do not believe in indications that the damage level is high as this is probably a falsehood for the sake of convincing you to purchase the full version. By the way, it costs 29.95 US Dollars. For this price, you could purchase legitimate and respectable security software.

The interface of this program also recommends that clients contact a toll-free helpline. A number +1-866-747-9019 is the number that allegedly connects to technicians that will try to help you without any hidden agendas. However, these consultants will only aim to sell you the premium version.

How do rogue security tools reach devices?

Since this is a potentially unwanted program, the free version can easily come bundled with other freeware. If you install video players, convertors, pdf readers or other software from unreliable sources, you might be recommended to install additional tools that will allegedly secure your computer system or check its security state. However, you are discouraged from ever giving consent to a condition that will insert additional programs. Overall, you should never agree to implant more tools than you originally planned. Advanced/custom modes for Setup Wizards are to help you discover all of the terms and conditions of installations. Additionally, you are advised to always do some research about a program before installing it.
