HDD Help
HDD Help is another fake optimization tool that uses fake system error messages to lure users to purchase a useless product. HDD Help is installed in your system through a Trojan and is a clone of Hard Drive Diagnostic. The fake error messages claim to have detected serious problems on the computer hard drive and system memory. If you purchase HDD Help, it will not fix your computer problems. Affected PC users should use a reliable anti-spyware/anti-virus program to stop HDD Help from doing its dirty work.
