Flex PC Cleaner Removal Guide

Many people download and install Flex PC Cleaner on their systems because they think that this software will clean computers for them and boost their performance. Unfortunately, this application is not as useful as it might seem to be at first glance. In fact, it is a typical advertising-supported application (adware), which means that it is only going to cause redirections and provide you with various ads, links, and the sponsored content in general. To be honest, the application will not do anything useful, so it would be very wise to eliminate it from the system completely. Ad-supported programs are not serious computer infections, so it is usually possible to erase them from the system rather easily. Flex PC Cleaner is no exception too. It has been observed that this adware can be removed via Control Panel too, so it should not be difficult to erase it from the system manually. Of course, users who have never tried erasing malware might find the removal process hard – we suggest reading this article to them.

Even though Flex PC Cleaner promises to clean PC and speed it up, it has been observed that this application only causes redirections to other web pages, for example, redtag-specials.com, quickheal.com, and others. In addition, it immediately opens interest.realintereststodays.com/?c1=16618 after the installation process is finished. This website contains buttons that lead to other web pages. These sites usually belong to third parties and they mainly promote different products. According to specialists working at 411-spyware.com, this advertising-supported application might also display other commercials on a user’s screen too. They might appear to you in a form of pop-ups, banners, and other types of advertisements. If you see them, ignore them completely because you might end up on an untrustworthy third-party web page full of malicious software.

In order to cause redirections and display ads, the program will create several registry keys, e.g. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\DOMStorage\www.flexpccleaner.com and HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\DOMStorage\flexpccleaner.com. In addition, it will create the flexpc folder in %PROGRAMFILES% (%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%), %APPDATA%, %ALLUSERPROFILE%, and %USERPROFILE%. Last but not least, users who have this adware installed on their systems notice a new shortcut on the Desktop and a folder in the Start menu.

In fact, advertising-supported applications not only display advertisements, but might also gather information about users in order to provide ads users would like to click on. As research has shown, Flex PC Cleaner is primarily interested in anonymous data and IP address; however, it is capable of recording email address, name, phone number, birth date, telephone number, and other important information. Therefore, we suggest being careful with this program. As you already know, we believe that it would be best to erase it.

Many users wonder how this advertising-supported application has managed to enter their systems; however, the answer is very simple – it tends to travel in software bundles. To be more specific, adware usually comes together with programs that are classified as freeware and shareware and generally sneak onto the computer rather silently. Of course, it is possible to prevent undesirable software from slithering onto the system. First of all, you need to read information provided for you in setup wizards. Secondly, you should download programs from their official websites only. Third, security specialists at 411-spyware.com suggest that you install a security tool on your computer. Last but not least, you should always download programs from trustworthy sources and, of course, find out whether the application which you want to install on your system is really trustworthy before the installation.
