Junk Cleaner is one of the numerous applications that encourage you to pay for their license, although they cannot help you in any way. Junk Cleaner is advertised as a tool that can optimize the functionality of your PC by deleting all unnecessary junk files. While indeed this type of files do you no good, and it is recommended to delete them once in a while, Junk Cleaner cannot achieve this task. This Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) scans your system for the presence of junk files and always claims their number is great. There are good reasons to assume the results are manipulated to scare the user. If you attempt to delete them and click on the corresponding button, you will be encouraged to purchase the full version of Junk Cleaner. It costs $50, and this is the exact amount of money you will lose if you pay. Once the PUP gets installed, it regularly displays alerts about the state of your PC, and this process may become quite annoying. The product doesn't possess an official download page, and it is hard to find it on-line. Nevertheless, it has reached many systems because it uses the "bundling" method and comes together with freeware. If you notice Junk Cleaner, you should ignore all warnings and should instead delete it with the help of actual and powerful security software.
