Power Speedup 2018

The Power Speedup 2018 is promoted at speedywinutils[.]com as a reliable and "Award-winning PC Protection" tool. PC users are promised that the Power Speedup 2018 is the "most efficient and simple-to-use tool for the users to quickly optimize and get a clean and faster PC." The Power Speedup 2018 appears to include three components that feature self-explanatory names — 'Registry Cleaner,' 'Startup Cleaner' and 'Browser Adware & Add-on Remover.' You should note that the Power Speedup 2018 supports a trial period and you can use the tool to scan your computer for potential problems. User reports and tests performed by computer security researchers revealed that the Power Speedup 2018 uses a disturbing tactic to convince users to buy its premium version, which unlocks all features of the product.

It was discovered that the Power Speedup 2018 marks old Registry entries, Web browser cache and temporary files as markers of severe problems with Windows. Scan results by the Power Speedup 2018 are not to be trusted blindly. Old Registry items, Web browser cache and temporary Internet files do not pose a threat to your PC’s performance and stability. Also, the Power Speedup 2018 tool may suggest that you remove applications from starting with Windows as a way to speed up its performance. This operation may improve the Windows boot time slightly, but it will not deliver noticeable improvements to general use. The Power Speedup 2018 program may generate pop-up windows on the Windows boot and load Web browser tabs to promote related products and cybersecurity tools. You may be offered to buy the Power Speedup 2018 for 19,95 USD/29,95 EUR at the time of writing. You should note that the Power Speedup 2018 is licensed via a third-party store called Fastspring[.]com (Terms of Service at h[tt]ps://fastspring[.]com/terms-use/terms-sale-eu/#software). Another detail we would like to highlight is that using the Power Speedup 2018 to fix problems with your copy of Windows comes with no guarantee as stated at Speedywinutils[.]com/termsofuse:

The Power Speedup 2018 product comes from a well-known software publisher called PCVark Software Pvt. Ltd. Also, Power Speedup 2018 is identical to the Power PC Care 2018, the Win Speedup 2018, the Boost PC Pro 2018 and the Auto PC Booster 2018 that we have discussed in the past. Many computer security researchers believe that the Power Speedup 2018 is an example of a negative value-to-price ratio regarding system optimization features.
