Do you know what One10 PC Cleaner is?
One10 PC Cleaner (also known as One10_PC_Cleaner) looks like a trustworthy PC optimization tool at first sight. It even claims that it can “quickly remove windows junk files, program and browsing clutters while refreshing your registry and deleting massive disk space hogs.” As this program promises to act in a beneficial way, many users download and install it on their systems. Unfortunately, the majority of them regret doing that. If you do not like how One10 PC Cleaner acts too, you should remove it as soon as possible. It has been observed that its uninstaller in Control Panel does not work properly, which means that you might also need to remove its junk files after you remove this program. You will find instructions prepared by the team of specialists at spyware-techie.com – they will help you to delete this software. It would be best that you read through this article before you go for the removal of One10 PC Cleaner.
Users cannot even believe that One10 PC Cleaner is a suspicious application because it will really scan the system and then will provide the total number of items that supposedly have to be optimized and/or cleaned. Unfortunately, the application will only delete files from the %Temp% folder if you click on the Clean button, which is far from optimizing the system’s performance. If you click on the Antimalware tab with an intention to scan your system against malicious software, you will notice that you have to buy it. In other words, you will be asked to acquire the license of this software. You are the one who can decide whether or not to do that; however, in our opinion, there are plenty of other much more trustworthy applications available for download on the web.
