The Quick PC Booster software was produced by XportSoft Technologies, a company that deployed PC Optimizer Pro previously. Quick PC Booster is promoted to help computer users 'get rid of issues sapping your PC's performance' as seen on its website. Also, users of Quick PC Booster are provided with the toll-free tech support number, 866-364-6553, that they can contact in case of problems. You may install the Quick PC Booster app with a freeware bundle and may need to call 866-364-6553 soon after that. Researchers note that Quick PC Booster implements limited system optimization mechanisms, and its Windows tools may cause system errors. The Quick PC Booster system optimizer is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that might decrease your computer’s performance instead of what it claims to do. Additionally, the official site of Quick PC Booster claims that XportSoft Technologies is a Silver level Microsoft Partner and works with IBM and Intel closely, but those companies do not confirm these allegations. The Quick PC Booster app may allow users to perform a free scan of their Windows Registry and file system to compile an analysis of the state of their computers. However, users would need to pay $50 for a key that would unlock the full version of Quick PC Booster and supposedly repair their PCs. You may want to know that Quick PC Booster might not have a functional uninstaller, and it could install hooks to your system process that could make it very hard for manual removal. Computer users need to use a trusted anti-malware tool to eliminate the Quick PC Booster app, delete residual files and restore system defaults settings.
