As the time passes, you may notice that your PC starts working slower and slower. This decreasing operating speed may occur due to some unnecessary 'junk' files burdening your system. These files need to be deleted, but you should not choose a program called System Healer for the job. This application is a Potentially Unwanted Program, and it will not provide you with the help you need. Since the users' feedback about System Healer is pretty negative, it is not surprising that its developers rely on some not too fair distribution methods. It is true that you can download this PUP from its official site, but it also may arrive in a set with other free applications. The people behind System Healer have done their best to create a persuasive official platform. They promise that their application will boost the operating speed of your PC although the majority of clients are unable to detect any positive changes.

To convince you that System Healer is worth it, its creators have even added some positive reviews. These opinions don't belong to real people as they are fabricated. You should also know that this PUP isn't freeware. As soon as it finishes the scanning process that may display highly exaggerated and misleading results, System Healer will encourage you to purchase its full version. It costs $30, but the PUP also promotes additional equally useless tools to charge you even more. If you agree to pay, you will just lose your money, so you should refuse it. In addition, the registration form requires your email address, and nothing guarantees it will not be used for some malicious operations. The best course of action is to delete System Healer, eradicate the junk files and fix the possible registry errors with actual system optimization software.
