PC Purifier presents itself as an application that will clean your computer and improve its performance. However, the truth is that PC Purifier is a misleading cleaning tool. PC Purifier is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by security researchers since it may cause more harm than benefits to the computers that it managed to get into. However, the main goal of PC Purifier may not be to help you clean your machine since what its developers want its money by prompting you to join a technical support hoax. Once inside your computer, PC Purifier starts causing issues. It may modify your settings and your search engine and default browser homepage automatically. The pop-ups advise you to buy the full version of PC Purifier, which is not free. Additionally, PC Purifier also may collect information such as your IP address, browsing history, passwords, email addresses, usernames, etc. As you can see, you should get rid of PC Purifier as soon as you can.
