Makefast System Cleanup - How to remove

Makefast System Cleanup by Circuit Software (sometimes calls itself PC Wiper) is a system optimizer for Windows computers. It’s one of those fake optimizers that overstate any found problems to get people to buy the program. While Makefast System Cleanup is not some really bad malware, it is unethical and should be uninstalled.

Makefast System Cleanup is considered malware by a number of antivirus programs. The reasons for that include a dishonest representation for scan results, relations with other fake optimizers, aggressive distribution.

Makefast System Cleanup is somewhat similar to Smart Sys Care, PCMate, PC Repair PRO, and other optimizers that try to pretend they’re useful to sell their products to users. Be careful when choosing a Windows utility program because a lot of them do not show accurate results.

Removing Makefast System Cleanup might be best for your computer:

Promised features	Deletes junk files Optimizes PC performance by freeing space
Type of threat	Potentially unwanted program Rogue optimizer
Makefast System Cleanup problems	Exaggerated scan results Completely redundant features Too-frequent scans Incomplete uninstallation
Remove Makefast System Cleanup	Uninstall the program Delete leftover files Remove malware using antivirus tools (SpyHunter)

How Makefast System Cleanup is harmful

A lot of antivirus programs detect the Makefast System Cleanup setup and executable files as malicious. It’s funny – the Makefast website slaps on the logo “McAfee Secure” which is supposed to guarantee that the website is free of malware. However, it doesn’t seem to be on the list of Secure sites. Plus, the downloaded files are detected as malware by McAfee. Shows how you should not trust seals, logos, and stickers exclaiming how a program is “certified”, “partner”, “secure”, or “guaranteed” somehow. These are incredibly easy to fake and can be difficult to verify.

That said, why do antivirus programs have a problem with Makefast System Cleanup?

Like many fake optimizers, System Cleanup is primarily concerned with making money. The problem is that it’s difficult to convince people to get a product like this. Windows has become better optimized and provides many features to delete unnecessary files on your own. It also defragments your hard drive, allows you to easily manage startup programs. So optimizers like Makefast System Cleanup have nothing left to do. They delete potentially useful files and save a few Megabytes of space and act like this is going to make your computer much faster. In reality, the most noticeable effect of this optimizer is the slowdown of the computer during System Cleanup’s regular scans.

Applications like this one severely exaggerate the findings and their effect on your computer. They find browser cookies and other useful files and claim that deleting them will “Fix” things (mostly, it’ll just make site loading slower). Plus, Makefast System Cleanup doesn’t reveal the specific files that are found – only their category.

So, deleting System Cleanup might be better for your PC’s performance than keeping it. It helps to uninstall junkware and disable unused programs from running on startup, but deleting a few small files will not help optimize your PC.

How to remove Makefast System Cleanup

If you decide to delete Makefast System Cleanup, it can be uninstalled from the Control Panel, the instructions are in the following section. Just end the process of System Cleanup (or PC Wiper) first.

Most often, fake optimizers like this one spread with the help of ads, often misleading ones. Adware often participates in spreading them, along with other malware. I don’t know that Makefast System Cleanup used this, but some fake optimizers even use fake security alerts, like this one, to force people to download the program. So, those who have a potentially unwanted program like System Cleanup on their computer are at a slightly elevated risk of having a couple more potentially unwanted programs.

Makefast System Cleanup might not delete all of its files while being uninstalled. To avoid it coming back later, you should remove the leftover files from the Program Files folder manually. It’s also advisable to scan your computer with an anti-malware tool (for example, SpyHunter) to make sure no other suspicious software remains on your device.
