What do you know about PC Tuneup?
PC Tuneup is a kind of potentially unwanted application which is similar to PC Tuneup Maestro that we have covered in the previous post. It acts as a handy computer optimization program, but the functionality of this app is much closer to an adware-type threat. In order to be precise, this adware mostly appears on the systems without receiving proper authorization from the users and then continues affecting the machine by carrying out several annoying activities. These unwanted activities may include generating plenty of intrusive pop-up ads, running bogus PC scans and attempting to trick the inexperienced system users into thinking that their machine is out of order.
The scan reports and perpetual pop-ups displayed PC Tuneup urge the computer users purchase the full version of this application in order to fix the detected errors. On top of it all, the software's influence may also extend to the web browsers installed onto the infected machine, as a result, the infected PC users may start noticing disturbing adverts as well as other random pop-ups appears on the system screen whenever they try to browse the web. As a product of a dubious adware threat, these adverts and their advertised content should not be trusted at all. Generally, to gather a more significant and excessive amount of advertising revenue, the developers of PC Tuneup may even collaborate with the poor reputation third parties, as long as they gains a decent profit.
Why should you get rid of PC Tuneup?
Due to this functionality, the application becomes highly suspicious and give a good reason to avoid using this toolbar and remove it completely from your PC. Luckily, the software is not malicious enough in order to obstructs its elimination, though PC Tuneup might attempt to prevent the victimized computer users from accessing legitimate anti-virus web portals and obtaining any kind of secure system security program. Besides, it may also modify your default homepage with its own official website and even install few other browser add-ons and extensions to track your online browsing habits and displays personally targeted advertisements. Of course, you should not expect your device to work smoothly with so much of undesired activity going on. The pre-installed system applications may begin running into disrupting errors, sudden freeze and the overall computer performance may deteriorate seriously which leads to crash. Hence, PC Tuneup should be removed from your machine ASAP.
