Advanced Mac Cleaner Removal Guide

Not all applications that look decent and can be downloaded from the web are really trustworthy and beneficial. An example illustrating this statement is Advanced Mac Cleaner. It is a PC optimization tool designed for MAC computers. More specifically, it is compatible with MAC OS X 10.7+ only. This application should clean the computer and fix all system errors to make it run smoother. Since Advanced Mac Cleaner looks quite a beneficial program, a number of users download and install it on their computers from its official website advancedmaccleaner.com. In fact, it seems that its official web page is not the only source users can get it from because some people are very surprised when they find Advanced Mac Cleaner installed and performing activities on their MAC computers. You are probably one of them if you are reading this article. You will find it explained here why this PC optimization tool has been classified as a potentially unwanted program. This information will help you to decide what to do with this application. Read this article till the very end and then use the manual removal guide prepared by researchers at 411-spyware.com if it happens that a decision to eliminate this PUP is made.

It might seem at first glance that Advanced Mac Cleaner has been categorized as a PUP without reason because, if we completely believe the information provided on its official website, it has a number of useful features. For example, it promises to clean the hard drive to make extra space there, help to manage applications, Internet history, and system startups, and, finally, it also claims that it can remove all clutters and duplicate files. We cannot promise that this application is really going to act as it promises, but, evidently, many users believe all those promises and install Advanced Mac Cleaner on their MAC computers. Unfortunately, they soon realize that it is not as useful as it claims to be, judging from the amount of negative reviews on the web. Advanced Mac Cleaner should scan the computer once it is installed on it and list issues that, in its opinion, have to be fixed; however, nobody can guarantee that these scan results are accurate. On top of that, it seems that this program will not do anything good unless it is upgraded. The price of the license at the time of writing is 39.95 Euro plus VAT, meaning that it is not cheap. Specialists do not think that it is a very good idea to invest in a potentially unwanted application because 99% that it is not going to change the way it acts, i.e. it will not miraculously become fully trustworthy, and, most probably, it will still keep displaying irritating pop-ups. We know that these pop-ups belong to this suspicious PC optimizer because they all have a label of Advanced Mac Cleaner.

Advanced Mac Cleaner cannot be called a fully reliable PC optimization tool because there is a number of users who cannot explain why they have this application installed on their computers, meaning that advancedmaccleaner.com is not the only place it is possible to download it from. Judging from the complaints on the web, this PUP can be automatically installed on MAC computers when users click on pop-ups offering to install a useful application as well. On top of that, according to our security specialists, this program might be promoted on various file-sharing websites as well. Since users can get it from several different places, it is not at all surprising that Advanced Mac Cleaner is quite prevalent and can be found installed on many computers these days.

Users say that they cannot delete Advanced Mac Cleaner the way they remove ordinary programs from their MAC computers, which is why the manual removal instructions (see below) have been prepared and this article has been written. Follow the step-by-step removal guide, but if it happens that nothing changes after completing all the removal steps, users should scan their PCs with an automatic malware remover working on MAC OS X.
