Win Speedup 2018

Posted: April 24, 2018

The Win Speedup 2018 is a system optimization utility, which malware researchers have recognized to be a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). This software kind is not unsafe and installing it on your computer will not lead to any harmful consequences. However, PUPs tend to cause unwanted side effects, as well as mislead users by providing them with manipulated information and reports. This is exactly the case with the Win Speedup 2018 – a PC optimization utility, which might exaggerate the results of its scans to make it more likely that the user will choose to pay for the full version of the product.

Users might encounter the Win Speedup 2018 in various online advertisements, which promote this product as a one-of-a-kind PC optimization utility. While it is undeniable that the Win Speedup 2018 is capable of fixing certain problems and applying different optimizations, we must add that the trial version of the product is unable to apply the recommended improvements since it only serves as a scanner. The scan results that users see might contain exaggerated results (e.g., a small problem is listed as severe) to make it more likely that the user will be tempted to purchase a full software license and resolve the pending issues.

Paying the asked price for a product that displays misleading results to gain your attention is certainly not recommended. If you have installed the Win Speedup 2018 and you do not plan to pay the full price, then we suggest that you take the required steps to uninstall this Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). This task can be accomplished both manually or with the assistance of a suitable PC security tool.
