PC Cleanup 2018 virus - How to remove

PC Cleanup 2018 is described as useful application that can help you to clean your computer from malicious and unwanted files, as well as increase the speed and overall performance. However, that’s just a nice and misleading description – in reality, this application is categorised as PUP (potentially unwanted program).

There are more than enough reasons why this tool is simply unwanted or even malicious and we are about to prove it to you. If you are considering whether to get this tool or not, or if you are struggling to get rid of it, you have come to the right place – in this article we will provide you with in depth information about PC Cleanup 2018 virus as well as instructions how to remove it efficiently.

Unfair application wrapped in an image of free system optimizer

One of the main reasons why this tool is considered to be unfair – false detection of computer errors that actually don’t exist. That is simply a swindle that has the main goal – to make you purchase a premium version of PC Cleanup 2018 in order to solve those detected problems.

In case you have no idea how this potentially unwanted program managed to infect your computer, there are a couple of possible answers. This software is available to download at www.superpccleanup.com website, but most of the time it gets installed automatically, using deceptive distribution methods.

One of those methods – misleading advertisements you ofter see online. Developers of PC Cleanup 2018 just pay for some advertisements network to display their ads with a bold statement that your computer is infected or have some serious problems that can be fixed by this free tool. In addition to that, those advertisements can be difficult to close, so users end up clicking them and eventually install rogue application.

Another possible scenario of installation – PC Cleanup 2018 arrives as a bundle to some free software downloaded from the web. During the installation you are “offered” to install this tool as well. Usually this option is default, so in case you change nothing during the installation, it will automatically land on your system as not so pleasant surprise.

After the installation, it will automatically start scanning your computer and looking for errors. This will repeat every time you start your system and probably it will detect some problems until your purchase the premium version of this software.

Potentially unwanted system optimisers like this are not something new – we have already informed ours users about SafePCKit and Advance-System-Care potentially unwanted programs. Nonetheless, this situation is serious and you should solve it.

Actually, there are no need to talk about all the features presented by PC Cleanup 2018 – it costs only over $20 and offers to perform a registry scan, form a back-up of your hard drive, schedule regular scans and fix various errors on your computer. That sure looks like a lot, but keeping in mind that information displayed by this tool is obviously false, it’s not worth to keep it installed. However, if you feel like this program is useful and good for you, feel free to use it and purchase premium version.

Now, if you want to remove it, first of all try obvious and easy method – go to your control panel, find PC Cleanup 2018 and uninstall it. Unluckily, this method often fails as there might be various errors that make this process impossible. Actually, that’s how this potentially unwanted program is trying to protect itself from being uninstalled.

In this case, you should get some help from anti-malware tools like Spyhunter. Either one of those tools should be able to detect and remove all files associated to PC Cleanup 2018 virus instantly. So just download one of those programs and run a full scan – after a couple of minutes it will be done automatically.
