PC Data App is a potentially unwanted application that may integrate itself on the PC together with free applications downloaded from suspicious download websites on the Internet. PC Data App may claim to support developers of freeware by funding their job. PC Data App may make a profit from collecting the computer user's system resources 'to make advanced calculations which are used in various projects'. PC Data App may look like a genuine program but, in reality, it's Bitcoin-mining software that doesn't support any developers of the free programs. PC Data App is categorized as adware or Trojan, and it may not be a useful app. PC Data App may incorporate PCs in 'bitcoin mining networks', and the main beneficiaries of the mining efforts are the developers of PC Data App. Bitcoin mining may use a large amount of system resources and, thus, slow down the PC.
