SystemBoosterPro is a product of oTweak, a company that is responsible for the development of several computer optimization and maintenance utilities such as DriverUpdaterPro and Registry Cleaner Pro. SystemBoosterPro is the latest addition to their portfolio of PC optimization utilities and, according to their website, this tool can carry out a fairly long list of operations that can help improve a computer's stability, performance and reliability. According to their official website, SystemBoosterPro can optimize the operating system, optimize RAM speeds, prevent slowdowns of the Internet, as well as clean up and optimize the system Registry.

Some of SystemBoosterPro's features may seem beneficial certainly, and the premium version of this software does, in fact, perform some optimization operations that the user might enjoy. However, users who are looking for computer optimization software should be aware that SystemBoosterPro is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and its installation may sometimes cause some undesired side effects. Users who opt to install SystemBoosterPro may be left with the impression that this application will take the necessary measures to optimize their computers immediately. However, this only applies if they've already bought a license for SystemBoosterPro, which comes at the price of $9.95. If the user has not done that, then they'll end up using the trial variant of SystemBoosterPro, which is only able to scan the computer and provide a report regarding the recommended fixes.

Users who only run the scanner and don't purchase the full version may end up being constantly bothered by SystemBoosterPro's reminders, notifications, and pop-ups which tell them that they can speed up their computer by taking care of the recommended fixes and optimizations. As you can probably guess, the catch is that to achieve this, the users will need to pay $9.95 for a license. Users who don't wish to purchase SystemBoosterPro should take action immediately, and remove this application from their computer. This can be done either manually, via the Windows Control Panel, or with the assistance of a software suite that is adept at removing PUPs.
