Oh, god, it seems today is an evil day. Now I can see many threats reported by PC Speed Clean which I newly installed a few days ago for free. I am sure if it would work well because every time when I boot up my computer, it will quickly and automatically scan the whole computer for me but always tells me my computer is under a high risk. I guess this security tool cannot delete those threat reported by itself at all. And I am not sure if there are so many threats on my computer. I am very worried about the state of my computer and afraid if my personal data is safe or not. Could you please help me to fix it?

Brief Introduction to PC Speed Clean

PC Speed Clean is actually a fake optimizer or a rouge antispyware. However, many PC users may believe it is a legit security program, since it claims that it is the best tool to help you delete unnecessary files, registry entries and errors to safely and effectively improve performance and get your PC running fast and smooth again, but actually it does the bad or opposite effect to your computer. And also you should notice that this PC Speed Clean can be compatible with all Windows systems and also work well on tablets and smart phones. Once you install this program on your computer, it will simultaneously change the start-up items in system and insert its executable files in it. Thus it can automatically initiate a full scan for your computer when you boot up your computer. After fake PC Speed Clean finishes the scanning, it will tell you that your computer is under high risks by displaying bad threats, junk files and system errors. When seeing so many threats messing up on computer, many victims are worried about their PC and will quickly click “Remove” button to expect this so-call security tool to delete all those threats. Then it will tell you that you need to purchase the full version of PC Speed Clean in order to completely remove all threats. Now you can figure out that it is a rogue malware to defraud your money. In fact, it just scares you by showing fake security warning, and in many cases, those infected files don’t even exist in your system. Don’t trust this fake antivirus, it is actually a malware itself and does no good to your computer.
