Apogee PC Pro - How to remove

Apogee PC Pro rogue security tool features a bunch of functions: removal of tampered, corrupted or unwanted files in Windows Registry, prevention of freezing and crashing, protection of data, malware removal, internet optimization and clutter reduction.

Security researchers have emphasized that purchasing or downloading free trials of system-optimizers won’t have any positive results on your operating system. In reality, you will waste money on redundant purchases of software programs since they won’t scan or fix your computer device properly (Microsoft support policy for the use of registry cleaning utilities).
