FixMyPC Removal Guide

FixMyPC is supposed to be a “powerful tool to repair and fine-tune your system” created by Auslogics Labs Pty Ltd., but we have found that this application is rather questionable; therefore, we have labeled it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Although this program claims that it restores order to the system registry and also improves the overall security of your PC, we have noticed that this software simply wants to lure users into buying the full version with its questionable scan results. We believe that this product is also over-priced considering that it only seems to delete some junk files, which cannot really be called “improved security.” Since this PUP may also sneak onto your machine together with malware infections, we suggest that you remove FixMyPC and make sure that you take care of all the other threats as well. You need to know that if you had a proper security tool installed, you would not have to be dealing with infections right now. Although PUPs are not considered as dangerous, they might still pose a potential threat to your virtual security.

You can find the official page at tweakbit.com/fix-my-pc, where you can also download FixMyPC. To be quite fair, the website looks quite okay and professional. However, what are the chances of your landing on this website while searching for a system optimization tool? Do you know how many similar products are there all over the web? As a matter of fact, there are much more effective and cheaper ones, too; if you take your time and do not mind researching a bit, you could find a proper application that you could actually trust.

The truth is we do not think that this PUP makes enough income for its creators simply being spread through its official site. Unfortunately, you can also find FixMyPC in freeware bundles that are packed with malicious software. Have you seen annoying third-party advertisements popping up here and there while you were browsing the net? Have your browser settings changed without your permission? These are all clear signs of adware applications and browser hijackers once they are active on your computer. If you have noticed any of these, it is possible that you downloaded this PUP from an unreliable source, such as a suspicious freeware site. In that case, you should delete FixMyPC and make sure you take care of all possible malware infections, too.

We have found that this application is very similar to other unreliable PC optimizer tools, including Pro PC Cleaner. What most of these products do is scan your hard drive in just a few seconds and return with hundreds of errors so that you will be pushed to register and buy the full-licensed product, which is, by the way, offered at a “great discount” for $59.40. If you are willing to pay this amount, you will get an additional useless application, PCBooster for free. We have tested FixMyPC and found that it can find errors even on a completely fresh system. We think that you are better off searching for a more reliable program to speed up and secure your computer. As for FixMyPC, we suggest that you remove it from your system.

There is at least one positive thing to say about this PUP and that is definitely the fact that it has its own working uninstaller. Thus, if you have made your decision, you can locate it in the list of installed programs in Control Panel, and simply run it to eliminate this infection. Please use our instructions below if you are not confident with regard to uninstalling applications via Control Panel. However, let us not forget about the other application that may possibly be threatening your system’s security. If you leave them on your computer, they may turn it upside down before long, and your operating system might become crippled soon. Therefore, we advise you to download and install a reliable malware removal application that can automatically detect and eliminate all known malware infections.
