MPC Cleaner

The MPC Cleaner (a.k.a. More Powerful Cleaner) that is published by DotCash is offered to users that want to improve their systems performance as quickly as a one click. The MPC Cleaner software is promoted as one of the best system optimizers on the Internet, and you can find it at Mpc.am and in the company of free programs like Dynamic Pricer and Falco Software Toolbar. The MPC Cleaner software is developed with the idea of allowing users to make 'one-click-modifications' to their system operations and file structure, and users may see several widgets powered by MPC Cleaner on their desktops. Additionally, the MPC Cleaner would install the MPC Safe Navigation browser plug-in to allow users to clean tracking cookies, search the Internet with Search.mpc.am and receive exclusive offers on Amazon and Best Buy. Computer users that favor other search engines should know that the MPC Cleaner program might prevent them from changing their homepage and search provider. The MPC Cleaner system optimizer may place a tray icon in your bottom right corner and show notifications with recommendations on how to speed up your PC.

The MPC Cleaner may terminate programs you operate to save system resources, and you may lose valuable projects and unsaved data. Programs like Adobe Illustrator, Autodesk 123D and Corel Draw that need a lot of processing power may be closed by MPC Cleaner automatically. The MPC Cleaner software may load several plug-ins to monitor other processes on your OS and slow down your PC instead of speed it up. Computer users that want to install the MPC Cleaner application should take into consideration that MPC Cleaner does not offer the option to disable parts of components. You may wish to search for alternatives to the MPC Cleaner software that are more user-friendly and provide the option to choose what features you would like to benefit from it. The MPC Cleaner software can be removed with the help of a credible anti-spyware instrument that can purge residual files and bad registry keys.

Digital Signatures

This section lists digital signatures that are attached to samples within this family. When analyzing and verifying digital signatures, it is important to confirm that the signature’s root authority is a well-known and trustworthy entity and that the status of the signature is good. Malware is often signed with non-trustworthy “Self Signed” digital signatures (which can be easily created by a malware author with no verification). Malware may also be signed by legitimate signatures that have an invalid status, and by signatures from questionable root authorities with fake or misleading “Signer” names.
