AcceleratePCPro

Posted: August 28, 2020

AcceleratePCPro is a rebranded version of a well-known Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that goes by a similar name – PC Accelerate Pro. These applications pose as highly effective and useful PC optimizations that can bring countless benefits if installed. Enhanced system health, more disk space, fewer Windows errors, and malware protection are just some of the great things that AcceleratePCPro may promise to potential users.

However, users who opt to AcceleratePCPro may be disappointed to find out that the free version of the program does not offer anything helpful – instead, it works like a system scanner, which generates a report with all recommended fixes and optimizations. This is the first place where something shady may occur – AcceleratePCPro's reports may often include exaggerated results that report hundreds of 'critical' issues. Many of the AcceleratePCPro's report entries are not a major issue, and fixing them will not lead to any noticeable changes. If you try to command AcceleratePCPro to fix the pending issues, it will display a prompt asking you to obtain a license key and unlock the optimizer's full features.

If it is not clear yet, AcceleratePCPro's strategy is to display very worrying report results that try to persuade the user to purchase the full version of the product. While AcceleratePCPro support some PC optimization features, it does employ misleading results and fraudulent practices to close deals with potential buyers.

Just like PC Accelerate Pro, AcceleratePCPro also is considered as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and it is best not to use it. If AcceleratePCProis present on your computer, you can complete the removal of its files and other components using a suitable PC security scanner.
