Smart PC Mechanic - How to remove

Smart PC Mechanic potentially unwanted program (PUP) is considered a low-quality tool since it is not the best utility to fix PC issues and boost its performance. In fact, it is a ripoff: users are being tricked into downloading its premium version. A very comparable tool called Master PC Cleaner has the same features, homepage and interface as the Smart PC Mechanic.

Clearly, an unidentified developing company is attempting to push its products to clueless people. At first, people might be tempted with an offer of a free trial (How). However, this version won’t have many of the actual traits. Its only purpose is to inform users of false positives. We are referring to the results to scans of operating systems. Even though your device will be clean, the tool will still raise serious concerns.

Smart PC Mechanic unwanted program is a fraudulent system-helper

Smart PC Mechanic virus is not exactly a malware infection: it should not be a malicious program to have, but its usefulness is doubtful. It is regarded as potentially unwanted application due to its silent installation into devices. Bundling is one of the techniques that hackers use to distribute their products. PC Smart Cleanup is also one of the rogue system optimizers that should be avoided. If any of them launch after every system reboot, check your Task Manager to see its process among the actively-running programs.

Furthermore, we should overview Smart PC Mechanic unwanted program from the perspective of more reliable security tools. We investigated the setup of this system-optimizer. Spcmsetup.exe was ran through a number of scanners (VirusTotal) and respectable tools like ESET-NOD32, McAfee, NANO-antivirus and a few others detected it as suspicious/risky/dangerous.

In addition to this analysis, we also attempted to find out more about the way Smart PC Mechanic functions (Hybrid) . It spawns a lot of processes, terminates other processes using task kill, writes data to remote process, and multiple malicious artifacts seen in the context of contacted hosts. Over the years, we have noticed many rogue system optimizers. Magic PC Cleaner and Pcobserver Registry Cleaner are one of the tools that we discourage people from using.

In addition to these concerns, we have to remind people that a suspicious tool can track their online activity, collect credentials and other valuable information (Identity). If you wish to protect your identity, together with your accounts, we suggest getting rid of Smart PC Mechanic at your earliest convenience. If not, it might obtain a lot of information about your browsing habits, visits to various websites and entered information.

Besides, purchasing a full version of this tool won’t provide you with a highly convenient tool. If you would like your operating system to function more smoothly, you should download a legitimate security tool like Spyhunter.

Some of the techniques that potentially unwanted programs use for distribution

Bundling is probably the leading cause of successful installation of PUPs. If you wish to be immune to this technique, we hope you will select advanced/custom modes for installation processes and make sure that you would not allow installations of additional programs. If you do, more than one suspicious programs can end up in your device.

In addition to this, we recommend taking a look at a few reviews that security researchers have written about the selected freeware program. If you discover some disturbing features, it is clear that you will no longer install that tool. However, some programs can reach operating systems via even more sneaky ways. For instance, some programs could reach devices via malicious online advertisements.

The best option to keep operating systems running without any issues is to update all your software and system regularly. Do not ignore recommendations for updates. If you do, vulnerabilities will remain in your computer, causing a possibility of an exploit kit.
