Smart PC Care Fake Optimization Tool falls into the PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) category. This tool may be advertised as very helpful and reliable, but in reality – it is not. At first, you won’t experience any major issues. This malicious parasite is known to gradually cause damages. The thing is, while this instrument is supposed to help you enhance your PC’s performance, as well as clean and optimize the entire system, it does the opposite thing.
The Smart PC Care Fake Optimization Tool will try to lure you into buying other malicious apps and extensions, by displaying potential threats on your computer that are actually nonexistent. This tool is known to pretend to scan your computer for malware presence and will try to trick you into purchasing its full licensed version, in order to remove the supposed threats it has found on your computer. Do not fall into this trap!
The most common means of distribution are corrupt browser redirects, software bundling, malicious apps or extensions that are installed on your computer without your knowledge, etc. Most users will fail to remember when exactly they have installed this tool on their computer. Often, it happens without their knowledge or consent. You see, when downloading software from the internet, users are known to be too quick to click on the ‘Next’ button and pay little to no attention to what they actually are agreeing to.
Don’t make the common mistake of opting for a Quick install. Instead, choose Custom or Advanced mode in the Setup Wizard. This will give you the power to deselect any additional software that has not been properly disclosed when you’ve downloaded the software bundle.
PUPs are not to be underestimated. More often than not, they seek to harm your computer or take your money. Make sure that you download applications, programs, extensions or any utility tools from licensed and reliable sources only.
