PC Tech Hotline is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) created by Crawler. Once installed and executed, PC Tech Hotline may add a registry entry which may enable it to be initiated automatically whenever Windows is started for all user logins. PC Tech Hotline may insert a background controller service that is set to automatically launch. Delaying the start of this service may be possible through the service manager. Computer users may order the service by submitting a service plan order through the website of PC Tech Hotline or by calling PC Tech Hotline. Once PC Tech Hotline accepts the service plan order submitted by the PC user, then he may be sent an email from PC Tech Hotline at the email address that he gives or has given to PC Tech Hotline as part of the registration process for the service. PC Tech Hotline is not responsible for making services in association with any service plan order that it has not accepted. Upon installation, PCTechHotline may run automatically with the PC even after modifying start-up settings in its settings window. PCTechHotline may also urge PC users to install numerous low-quality programs. PCTechHotline may be distributed and enter the PC through other packaged free software.
