FullScan

Posted: December 28, 2010

Fake optimization programs are in abundant numbers while yet another one has surfaced called FullScan. FullScan is a fake PC optimization program that is remarkably similar to previously discovered rogue optimization programs such as HDD Low and Scanner. FullScan (aka Full Scan) uses an intricate interface that attempts to pull-off the daunting task of making computer users think that the application will identify and fix performance hindering issues. The FullScan program even goes as far as to claim it will defragment hard drives. FullScan will not perform any functions to speed up a PC nor will it resolve any other performance or stability issues. FullScan should be detected and removed just like any dangerous Virus would be.
