System Tuner, also known as SystemTuner, is a rogue anti-spyware program often installed in your computer with the help of Trojans, such as Zlob. These Trojans may have come bundled in fake video codec download or from an adult website. Once installed, you'll receive a large amount of popups and misleading notification messages stating that your computer is infected with malware. However, keep in mind that System Tuner is a scam and all it generates are mechanisms to steal money from you. System Tuner is not able to detect nor remove any spyware from your computer system. System Tuner is not able to optimize your system's performance either.

System Tuner is also able to emulate a computer system scan and generate a list of imaginary threats supposedly found in your computer. Of course, these results are fake and are only meant to push you to buy System Tuner's full version.

System Tuner may start on every Windows startup and has the ability to recreate itself. System Tuner was designed by the same creators of HDriveSweeper.

    Thanks Anthony, thought it was about time that I tackled agents again. Yep, the only way to reach my writing goal is to keep submitting. Wishing you all the best with your submissions too :))
