Total System Care

Total System Care is a Registry optimizer that provides exaggerated claims of system malfunctions to justify its users purchasing its premium performance-enhancing services. Even though Total System Care doesn't attack your computer or cause any intentional harm to it, its services may cause incidental damage by deleting files or settings that the programs on your PC require. PC owners who are unsatisfied or doubtful about this system scanning product should feel free to remove Total System Care with any third-party security solution that specializes in uninstalling unwanted software.

The PC Care Package with a Bill Inside

Total System Care is a system scanner provided by SafeBytes, the same company responsible for prior Potentially Unwanted Programs like DriverAssist. Total System Care uses a common system scan template that makes claims of providing features ranging from optimizing your Registry to eliminating ActiveX errors. However, like most of the other products using its template, Total System Care has a highly uncertain history of delivering any of the optimization features Total System Care claims of possessing.

PC users frequently find Total System Care installed through downloads from third-party freeware sites, although Total System Care also promotes itself at its personal site, totalsystemcare.com. The latter site also has some reports of inconsistently using browser scripts to block it from being closed, although malware experts haven't confirmed any hostile content. After being downloaded and installed, Total System Care launches an automatic system scan that returns exaggerated ranges of system problems, with a special focus on Registry errors.

As usual, PC owners are invited to pay the Total System Care's registration fee before Total System Care can remove any of the theoretical errors. Also as usual, malware experts have seen no cases of Total System Care being able to optimize the performance, security or disk space of any PC being 'repaired' by Total System Care.

Having a System Totally Free of Total System Care

Total System Care and its kin software, DriverAssist, currently are categorized as Potentially Unwanted Programs. Most PC users should be capable of determining on their own whether or not the presence of any one PUP is beneficial or disadvantageous. However, as an overall rule, malware experts recommend avoiding so-called optimizers that make negative claims of your PC's health that are unable to be corroborated by any other programs.

Removing Total System Care and other PUPs ordinarily should be done with general PC security products capable of guaranteeing a complete uninstall as much as possible. If Total System Care installs itself automatically and is unrelated to the presence of any intentionally downloaded products, your PC also might be compromised by other threats. Safe Web-browsing habits are the most important aspect of protecting your PC from unwanted applications that bundle with desirable ones, such as the products found in many freeware domains.
