CC Cleaner

By GoldSparrow in Potentially Unwanted Programs

The 'CC Cleaner' program should not be mistaken for the 'CCleaner' software by Piriform Ltd found at Piriform.com/ccleaner/. The 'CC Cleaner' program is a product that belongs to the same class of tools-system optimization, but it does not have the good reputation of its legitimate counterpart. Cyber security experts have performed tests of 'CC Cleaner' in lab conditions on a brand new system and one that has been set up as a real-world device and found that 'CC Cleaner' is a fake tool, which shows unreliable results on both test machines. Moreover, the CC Cleaner app is hosted at Ccleaner.online and the 'CCleaner' name is registered as a trademark by Piriform Ltd, and that alone is a reason for a lawsuit against Pcvark Software Pvt. Ltd. who is behind the 'CC Cleaner' product.

The company Pcvark Software Pvt. Ltd. is known for releasing apps, which mimic reputable system optimization tools in hope users download their app instead. You might want to know that the Advance System Care at advancepctools.biz by Pcvark Software Pvt. Ltd. is almost an exact replica of Advanced SystemCare by IObit Software. The 'CC Cleaner' program by Pcvark might initiate an automatic scan of the system every time you boot into Windows and increase the time it takes for the OS to load properly. 'CC Cleaner' is is likely to detect "critical problems" on a brand new copy of Windows and suggest the user purchase a license for its full version, which can resolve the "critical problems" detected previously. The payment page for the premium license required by 'CC Cleaner' comes with two additional offers titled 'Photo Commander' and 'Advanced Password Manager,' which are added to your basket automatically. You can remove the 'Photo Commander' and the 'Advanced Password Manager' from your order and pay 19.95 USD for 'CC Cleaner' only. You should take into consideration that 'CC Cleaner' by Pcvark offers support only via a ticketing system and you might be invited to install a questionable security software called Malware Crusher, developed by Pcvark Software Pvt. Ltd. The Malware Crusher desktop app is not recognized a trusted security solution and 'CC Cleaner' may display pop-up windows to promote the app aggressively. The 'CC Cleaner' software is deemed as an app that is on the borderline of scamware and a Possibly Unwanted Program (PUP). Av engines tag the installation package for CC Cleaner as:

  • Adware.GenericKDCRTD.Win32.12424

  • Program.Unwanted.2054
  • Suspicious_GEN.F47V0701
