MPC AdCleaner - How to remove

Say goodbye to Web ads and Popup windows. Even though MPC AdCleaner proclaims to wipe your computer clean from objectionable promotional content, this ads cleaner is not going to efficiently keep its word. Statements are just written words that might not always turn out to be true. Let’s take a look at the highly-spoken MPC AdCleaner and its services range. First of all, it indicates to clean all types of ads and make your device run faster. It even indicates to block advertisements that are triggered by an advertising-supported software. However, IT specialists are agreeing that this MPC AdCleaner is nothing put a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Such applications are known to exploit secretive tactics for distribution and are notorious for providing low-quality services.

About MPC AdCleaner

MPC AdCleaner is related with MPC Cleaner. In fact, these two applications proceed very similarly and are both children from the same parental figure: DotCash Ltd. You can even download them from the same official homepage. However, let’s look at the MPC AdCleaner program more closely and try to reveal the main terms for this software to be considered an unreliable potentially unwanted program (PUP). We cannot consider it malicious and directly damaging users’ devices, but we are making sure to forewarn people that negative feedback from former users suggests that they all removed this program at the end.

If stealthy strategies brought MPC AdCleaner to your device, then PUP modified Windows Registry Keys to be automatically ran, alongside your other applications. Regularly or even more frequently than expected, MPC AdCleaner will initiate scans to determine how much promotional content was blocked by its magical tool. However, sometimes this program might not be capable of preventing advertisements to be shown and is actually not a very wise decision for proper security. The MPC cluster of letters might refer to More Powerful Cleaner but it does not have any extraordinary features to make it worthy of your time. To highlight the unpredictability of this software, we are also going to mention that it manages to assign a new domain in the positions of browsers’ home pages, default search providers and new tab pages. Search.mpc.am virus is the fake search system, advertising unreliable webpages and making sure that DotCash Ltd. remains to receive financial support from its sponsors.

Distribution Methods of MPC AdCleaner

MPC AdCleaner can be easily downloaded from its official page. In addition to this, the analyzed questionable application can be found on a number of other file-sharing domains. Users are never advised to get free applications from potentially shady distributors. It might be that they uploaded software after making changes to it. For example, crooks can add additional applications inside and suggest them during Setup Wizards. If you tend to quickly breeze through these procedures, it is very possible that your computer is “improved” by a multitude of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). If you are clearly aware of the negative impacts these applications can do, you should always opt for advanced/custom modes for installations and politely decline offers for optional software.
