PC MightyMax Description

PC MightyMax portrays itself as a legitimate registry repair software, generally installed manually by the user due to inexperience or faulty advertising, from the PCMightyMax.net web site. Once installed, PC MightyMax will scan the registry for any problems, and then display fictitious and sometimes grossly exaggerated infection results in order to intimidate the user into purchasing the commercial version of PC MightyMax.
