SystemKeeperPro is a Potentially Unwanted Program that is part of the Monerix Software's portfolio of PC optimization software products. According to the product's official page, SystemKeeperPro is a 9-in-1 system optimization tool that can help users get rid of junk and duplicate files, clean temporary files, optimize their Registry, and fix various Windows errors that may have an adverse impact on the computer's performance. The website even offers users the opportunity to download the SystemKeeperPro scanner for free, but what the website may not mention is that the free version does not complete any of the promised tasks – it only generates a report containing all recommended fixes and file removal operations.

Users who opt to install the free version of SystemKeeperPro will not notice any major differences in their computer's performance, but they may notice one annoying change – the SystemKeeperPro software may add a Registry entry that allows the application to start with Windows automatically. By doing so, SystemKeeperPro guarantees that the user will see constant reminders that their computers need to be optimized or they can clean some disk space by purchasing the full version of SystemKeeperPro. If it isn't clear yet, SystemKeeperPro's free variant is simply a promotion tool that may display notifications and alerts that urge users to purchase the full version of this program constantly.

Keep in mind that although SystemKeeperPro may be classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), you should not consider this program to be harmful or anything of this sort. In fact, the full version of SystemKeeperPro is fully functional, and it may provide some of the results it promises. However, keep in mind that there are many free PC optimization utilities that will not bombard you with reminders to pay money for a more advanced package. SystemKeeperPro's subscription plan includes monthly payments, and a one-time purchase is impossible judging by their page. If you think that SystemKeeperPro is not the right product for you and you wish to remove it, then you can do so either manually or with the help of credible anti-malware software. Please keep in mind that the manual removal of PUPs may sometimes leave behind leftover files and Registry entries, and anti-malware software suites tend to identify and remove these components as well.
