How did you install PC Purifier onto your Windows operating system? Did you acquire this supposedly beneficial system optimizer from its official website, pcpurifier.com? Did you install it using an unfamiliar installer along with unfamiliar programs? Unfortunately, many users encounter the application via malicious installers that can bundle it along with malware, including browser hijackers, tracking cookies, as well as adware, and potentially unwanted programs. We classify the app as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) as well because most users are tricked into thinking that it is something it is not. Do you believe that this PUP will enhance your computer’s performance by finding and erasing registry errors? If you believe that, you might be pushed into paying for the services of this potentially unwanted program, and that, of course, would be wasteful. Continue reading to learn how to delete PC Purifier and why that should be done.
According to our research, the suspicious PC Purifier comes from the same group as ProPCCleaner, Optimizer Pro, and other strange system optimizers that supposedly can serve you in a beneficial way. Unfortunately, despite their great promises, these programs always end up being useless or unreliable. Have you used PC Purifier already? If you have, you know that it scans your operating system and then displays a number that supposedly represents the errors that require fixing. Are these errors critical? Although they might not be, the “Attention” warning might make you think otherwise. The scanner is meant to make you do one of the two things: Click the “Fix Issues button” at the bottom or call the 24/7 helpline. Regardless of which of these two paths you choose, you will be asked to pay money to have the “issues” and “errors” fixed. Obviously, if you call the helpline, you might be charged for the call, and the person answering your call might be more convincing than a purchase page, to which you will be led if you click the “Fix Issues” button.
At the moment, PC Purifier is on offer for $39.95 (the real price, supposedly, is $99.99). Obviously, this sum of money will not break your bank, but we do not recommend spending one dime on this suspicious, potentially unwanted program. First of all, the services that this program provides you with are not worth the money. Second, it does not look like this program is reliable, considering that it can display annoying and misleading pop-up notification to convince you that you need to pay money for the useless services. The “WARNING” pop-up that we have faced indicated that the computer was at risk due to a file that crashed. The pop-up was truly intimidating, and there is no doubt that many users would jump to paying money or calling (844) 763-5838 for the so-called “Emergency Tech Support.” Even if PC Purifier is not malicious, it certainly is pushed upon computer users in a strange and aggressive manner.
We advise removing PC Purifier from your browsers, but that is not the only thing we are worried about. As mentioned previously, other threats could be active if you downloaded the PUP via a malicious installer. Even if your operating system was not infected with ransomware, Trojans, rogues, keyloggers, or other extremely malicious threats – which is not something you should reject right away – other potentially unwanted programs, intrusive tracking cookies, or adware could be disruptive and malicious as well. Due to this, before you initiate the removal operation, we advise scanning your PC to check if other infections exist. If they do, research them quickly to see if you will be able to eliminate them manually.
The removal instructions below are very simple, and we are sure that you are familiar with the steps already. According to our research and tests, it is enough to uninstall PC Purifier to get rid of it successfully. Of course, you need to be careful at all times, and so once you think that you have gotten rid of all threats, you should perform a full system scan again to make sure that unwanted components or programs did not remain active. If you cannot clean your operating system yourself, install anti-malware software. In fact, even if you are able to get rid of unreliable programs yourself, you can benefit from a strong anti-malware tool in a sense that it can ensure further protection.
