PC Purifier
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. ...
MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar
If time planning is an important part of your day, you might be intrigued by the services offered by MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar. This application/extension is available from the Chrome web store or the official download page, mycalendarplanner.com, but it is also possible that you will face it by executing software bundles. Needless to say, you have to be cautious about software bundles because there are some that were created to spread malware without the user’s notice. Hopefully, that is not the predicament you find yourself in because dealing with a bunch of suspicious programs is much more complicated than dealing with just one. ...
InspiringBackgrounds
You might think that InspiringBackgrounds is a genuine and beneficial program, but our research has revealed something else.

LuDaShi

This should be taken especially seriously if you have not installed this application consciously. Thus, if this is the case, we highly advise you to check your operating system for other suspicious software. In our report, we provide further information on why this program could be installed on your PC without your knowledge. ...
Win Heal 2016
A program that goes by the name of Win Heal 2016 is not an entirely trustworthy piece of software. In fact, researchers working at our internal lab recommend conducting its complete removal if it is ever found up and running on your personal computer. We advise you to do so regardless of various claims stating that this application could prove to be useful as a system optimization tool. While such claims sound tempting, you must know that its questionable overall functionality and devious means of distribution are the main reasons it has been classified as a potentially unwanted program. ...
Cloud System Care
Cloud System Care is yet another system optimization program that is supposedly designed to repair, clean, optimize, and speed up your computer. Nevertheless, you should remove it because it is likely that it will not do anything it says it will do at all. It comes from a questionable developer that has published several untrustworthy programs and it is unstable and likely to crash. Its features are nothing more than a charade as its real purpose is to convince you to purchase the full version for 75-95 USD. In this article, we will cover this program’s distribution, features, and removal options, so we kindly invite you to read this short description if you have installed it on your PC. ...
TechAgent
TechAgent is promoted as a beneficial application that works as “your own personal technician” that is “waiting to assist you in any PC matter, 24/7.” Judging from the information found on the official website of TechAgent, which is techagent.co, this program should work as a technical support tool and thus provide the assistance needed. Unfortunately, even though this program promises to act in a useful way, we cannot recommend users to download and install it on their computers because it is known to be a potentially unwanted program. Of course, specialists have decided to put it into this category not without a reason. ...
Aerojet
We would like to inform you about a newly found application known as Aerojet. We tested it and came to the conclusion that it is a potentially unwanted program (PUP.) So, it is not malicious per se, but it can show promotional links from shady sources, modify your browser’s settings, and collect information about you. Therefore, we think that labeling it as a PUP is entirely justifiable because it can pose a significant risk to your computer’s security and should be removed. Moreover, it will not provide you with any useful services that could improve your browsing. ...
SPCOptimizer

In this description, we will tell you more about this program, and how you should deal with it.
