Win Speedup 2018 - How to remove

Win Speedup 2018 is a software for Windows operating system. It is supposed to optimize and speed up the PC. However, we consider it to be a potentially unwanted program (PUP) due to several obvious reasons:

• It gets installed using deceptive methods;
• It is advertised using excessive and misleading advertisements;
• It forces users to purchase the premium version of the software that is actually not needed;
• It might steal your personal information;
• It might infiltrate other malware.

It is a well-made replica of legitimate Windows optimizing tools. The only difference is that Win Speedup 2018 is trying to rip-off users and force them to pay for the software that is actually useless. There are tons of alternative Windows utility that are free and will help you to speed up and clean computer from trash, so there is no point to consider using Win Speedup 2018 or even purchasing a premium version of it.

If your computer is infected with this potentially unwanted program, make sure to remove it as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might experience unwanted consequences and get yourself into more cybersecurity trouble.

This article will help you to effectively eliminate Win Speedup 2018 and also provide most relative information about features of this PUP and ways it can cause harm to your system.

How Win Speedup 2018 Can Cause Harm

Described as “the most efficient and simple-to-use tool for the users to quickly optimize and get a clean and faster PC” Win Speedup 2018 definitely doesn’t live up to the expectations. Premium version of the application is $24,99 and you will be constantly reminded to purchase it.

Basic features of this software include registry cleaning, startup cleaning, and browser malware cleaning, which makes it look like anti-malware program too. However, all those features are not optimized and won’t actually fix problems on your computer.

In fact, Win Speedup 2018 is creating and faking non-existant problems. It is done in order to scare users and make them pay for the premium version. This behavior is definitely rogue and you should not keep such application on your computer.

We have seen a lot of similar unwanted applications in the past – PCProtect, Safe PC Cleaner, Maxperforma Optimizer and so on. They all share the same quality – those programs will collect your personal information and that is very dangerous. Some of your private data might be leaked to other cybercriminals or simply sold for marketing purposes, thus you can expect various attacks or attempts to scam you.

Once installed on your computer Win Speedup 2018 will start scanning it automatically. It will be also done every time you boot your system up until the virus is completely removed. It might slow down your computer significantly. Also, after every single scan you will be flooded with pop-up messages that your computer has some serious issues and you need to purchase a premium version in order to solve them.

Additional Win Speedup 2018 Features

This program is available in English, German, Dutch, Danish, Japanese, French, Swedish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Finnish, Italian, and Russian languages. It supports every Windows OS version from XP to Windows 10.

It is also affiliated with other tools and will spam you with various advertisements to install or purchase them. That means Win Speedup 2018 also has some features of adware. However, it can be classified as typical adware because it’s primary mission is different.

The very fact that Win Speedup 2018 is installed on your computer and you haven’t done that yourself indicates that your computer is in danger. We recommend getting some anti-malware tool with real-time security feature, such as Plumbytes Anti-Malware.

How It Can Infect Your Computer

Even though you can download it directly from their official website, usually that’s not the case. The installer of this software travels bundled with other free software that can be downloaded from the Internet.

Also, as we have mentioned before, it can be infiltrated by other malware that is already operating on your computer. Either way, you should monitor your system all the time and pay close attention to the installation processes.

Only download software from websites that are well known and can be trusted – shady sources can be distributing malware and unwanted programs like Win Speedup 2018.

Removal of Win Speedup 2018 Malware

Probably the best part about this malicious tool is that it’s relatively easy to get rid of it. All you have to do is scan your computer with trustworthy anti-malware application, such as Spyhunter. Either one of them will automatically detect and remove the virus in no time.

Also, you can go for manual removal. It is a little bit more complicated, but we have developed a step-by-step guide to assist you through this process – scroll down below this article and take a look at it.
