Posted: October 12, 2018

LightspeedPC is a software suite meant to help you enhance your computer’s performance by performing a wide variety of optimization tasks that can improve overall performance, boot up speed and loading time. However, the LightspeedPC software is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by multiple PC security product vendors, and this is certainly a red flag that you should not ignore when researching PC optimization tools like this one.

The LightspeedPC is advertised as a free tool, but users who opt to install it may realize quickly that the free version comes with severely limited features, therefore making this tool very inefficient. According to its official website, LightspeedPC is able to repair Registry entries, control startup items, improve shutdown and booting speed, defragment hard drive partitions, optimize programs, free up RAM, and help save disk space by getting rid of temporary and junk files. All of this sounds great until you realize that it is behind a paywall that will cost you $29.95 to take down.

While LightspeedPC is able to complete the tasks that it is being advertised for, you will only be able to use them after paying for the full version. The publishers of LightspeedPC also have taken measures to make their product a more attractive purchase – LightspeedPC might exaggerate results to make it seem as if the $29.95 is worth every cent. The recommendation is to uninstall this Potentially Unwanted Program either manually or with the help of an advanced PC security tool.
