Pctech-notice.com

Posted: June 17, 2015

Pctech-notice.com is a domain promoting potentially unwanted technical support services and software. So far, malware experts haven't seen adequate evidence in this business's brief history for labeling Pctech-notice.com a phishing scam site. However, Pctech-notice.com is related to browser add-ons that could hinder your ability to surf the web safely or comfortably. If your browser is loading content from Pctech-notice.com automatically, you can employ anti-adware solutions for removing the responsible software.

A Notice of a Cloned Technical Hotline

Pctech-notice.com is a potential clone of a previous technical support business that malware experts last saw distributing the PCTechHotline toolbar. This Potentially Unwanted Program injected advertisements and potentially inaccurate warning messages into the PC's default browser. In late 2014 and ongoing into the current year, a new PUP began being reported with the same attributes and branding style of that toolbar. However, this new toolbar is associated with Pctech-notice.com.

Although consensual download links for Pctech-notice.com's toolbar are difficult to find, the site's owners have distributed their adware in bundles with other applications. Malware experts have seen Pctech-notice.com installed with Search Dial (a possible rebranding of the MySearchDial Toolbar). Like the PCTechHotline Toolbar, the Pctech-notice.com toolbar generates injected content automatically, for every Web page, always dedicated to promoting its associated technical support business. Its extensive Registry modifications also guarantee that the adware launches itself automatically with your browser.

The Pctech-notice.com software's injected alerts and advertisements may prevent your browser from accessing native website content, slow loading times or deliver potentially inaccurate system information. They also may promote additional types of Potentially Unwanted Programs, including file backup systems, privacy settings managers and Registry cleaners.

Giving Pctech-notice.com Its Notice of Uninstallation

Malware analysts often see Pctech-notice.com software on Internet Explorer, albeit not exclusively. As an even higher priority issue than the above ad injections, malware researchers also found some evidence of some Pctech-notice.com adware bundles including threatening software. Even seemingly low-key symptoms, such as being unable to update your security software's threat database may be assumed to be attacks against your computer. In these scenarios, both anti-adware and anti-malware products may be necessary for guaranteeing that your PC has all unwanted and potentially dangerous programs deleted.

Other than the above caveats, Pctech-notice.com's most notable trait is its inclusion in spam blacklists, although Pctech-notice.com has failed to classify as a hostile website. While responsive technical support is an invaluable service, Pctech-notice.com pop-ups, and bundle-based application installations typically are not signs of regular business. Even more pertinently than that, malware researchers can't recommend trusting a company who shows every indication of rotating its website, software and brand name to avoid all long term responsibility for its business practices.
