Smart PC Cleaner

ESG malware analysts have identified Smart PC Cleaner as a fake PC optimizing tool and hard drive defragmenter. Smart PC Cleaner offers to make your computer more efficient, but it actually does the opposite in order to try to extort money from its victims. According to ESG security analysts, Smart PC Cleaner has no real way of cleaning or optimizing your computer system. Rather, Smart PC Cleaner is designed to display constant alarming error messages claiming that your computer system is in severe danger. Even worse, it is quite difficult to remove Smart PC Cleaner through normal means, usually requiring the use of an anti-malware program to do so. Usually, a Smart PC Cleaner infection will be acquired from visiting unsafe websites or downloading files unwisely. The best way to prevent a Smart PC Cleaner attack is to ensure that the websites you visit and whatever you want to download aren't malicious. It is also important to use reliable security software from a trusted, well-known source.

Why You Should Definitely Not Trust Smart PC Cleaner to Clean Your Computer
