FixCleanRepair is a system maintenance utility that is promoted on FixCleanRepair.com as ben able to clean junk files, detect and repair problems on your PC that slow it down. However, you might want to know that FixCleanRepair is developed by Howard Software Ltd., a company that is known to deploy adware such as ZiperFly, WinClock and RapidMediaConverter. The FixCleanRepair software may allow you to delete Internet cookies and junk files, but it may load pop-up windows in your Web browser to promote third-party software such as FCTPlugin and GoforFiles that may decrease your system performance. Security analysts classify the FixCleanRepair software as a Potentially Unwanted Program that does not have a defragment tool and registry editor of its own and will direct users to use the one built in Windows. Also, the uninstall manager that comes with FixCleanRepair might not remove all files, and settings left behind by other applications may clutter your AppData and ProgramData folders with residual configuration files. Computer users may be allowed to perform a one-time free scan for errors upon installing FixCleanRepair and provided with a list of non-existing errors to be encouraged to buy a three-month subscription for $9.99. You should take into consideration that the developers of FixCleanRepair can deprive users of their services for any reason without prior notice. You might install FixCleanRepair along with a free program installer via the 'Express' or 'Typical' option. Many users may want to consider using a trustworthy anti-spyware tool to remove all components of the FixCleanRepair software safely.
