RegClean Pro

Posted: January 13, 2012

RegClean Pro is a fake system optimization utility that you should never install. This program may be inefficient, and may not help you improve the performance of your PC. The primary goal of its developers is to trick the computer users. They use different tactics to convince them to upgrade RegClean Pro to its full version, which is equally unreliable. As a result, computer users may lose a substantial sum of money while the functionality of their systems stay the same or even deteriorate. Security specialists use various definitions for this questionable application. Some describe RegClean Pro as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), while RegClean Pro is scareware for others. RegClean Pro may come automatically. This may occur if you download freeware bundles from suspicious sources, and don't read the details. The experts advise you to perform setup procedures of cost-free applications via the 'Advanced' menu solely. It is worth spending a few more moments in the process since it will let you unmark suggested additional programs besides the main one. In some cases, the users may install this PUP willingly with the assumption that it will optimize their systems. The developers of RegClean Pro claim that it can fix Registry errors, create backups, defrag corrupt files and improve the startup process. In theory, your Windows should become faster and more reliable. However, this questionable tool may not achieve the promised features. RegClean Pro displays bogus scan results to make you feel worried about the state of your PC. Even if you have just reinstalled your Operating System (OS), you will notice dozens of high priority issues. The first reaction of the majority of users is to click on the large 'Fix Issues' button. If you do it, RegClean Pro will open a Web page that encourages you to upgrade the software. You should not spend your money on it because you will not notice any positive results. RegClean Pro may create pretty aggressive pop-ups about non-existing problems to convince you to allow the upgrade. RegClean Pro may even create some real issues to make you feel that you need its help. Instead of paying money to fraudsters, you should use a renowned security utility to delete RegClean Pro.
