Do you know what Power PC Care is?
Power PC Care is another potentially unwanted program that may promise to optimize the computer to make it work faster. However, same as with other questionable applications alike, our computer security specialists doubt the tool can improve the device’s performance. The worst part is, you cannot know for sure unless purchasing the software since its free version allows only to detect issues. Naturally, because of this, we do not recommend wasting any time with this PC optimizer. If you do not think you will have any use from it as well and wish to get rid of it, we could offer our removal guide available at the end of the main text. It will explain how to delete the potentially unwanted program manually. Provided, you want to find out more information about Power PC Care before deciding if it is better to erase it you should keep reading our article as in it we will talk about the tool’s working manner, possible distribution channels, and other essential details.
Power PC Care comes from a website called systemlogics.org. It is also possible the application’s installer could be found on various file-sharing web pages, although we cannot be sure. The setup file from its official website might be bundled with another questionable program called Driver Updater, so users should be careful if they do not want to end up installing such tools. As many other potentially unwanted programs the software might be bundled with applications alike too, so we would not be surprised if some users downloaded the software accidentally. To avoid receiving suspicious tools in the future users should pay close attention to the software’s they choose to install reliability. For instance, it would be smart to make sure a reputable company developed it or see if it has good reviews from experts. Plus, installers should be downloaded from legitimate websites as sites distributing pirated software and unknown freeware might contain malicious data.
As mentioned earlier in the report, Power PC Care free version allows the user to scan his computer for issues that are supposed to influence the computer’s performance. In our case, the potentially unwanted program located one files and folders issue, one Startup issue, 28 Registry issues, and so on. Most of the detections were Registry issues, and because of this, we doubt the application could change the device’s performance dramatically as our computer security specialists say it is doubtful deleting old Registry files would make the system work faster. Consequently, we believe purchasing Power PC Care’s license could be a waste of money. Needless to say, if you do not want to risk wasting your money you should search for more reliable software that would not fall under the potentially unwanted programs category. Also, a tool that could be tested before purchasing to make sure it is worth the money you would be investing.

In non-techie terms:
Power PC Care might sound like a powerful tool that can solve your computer issues, but our computer security specialists doubt it could have any visible effects on the device’s performance. As usual for such potentially unwanted programs, it does not allow the user to try out the PC optimizer’s removal tool. In other words, the free software’s version can only detect issues, and if you wish to solve them, you should be asked to purchase a license. We would not recommend doing so without knowing whether it is worth investing money in it. In case you do not want to pay for such a questionable application, there is no use in keeping it installed, and so we advise deleting it from the computer. Users who are prepared to eliminate it manually should follow the removal guide available a bit above this article. As for users who prefer dealing with potentially unwanted programs with automatic features we would suggest installing a reputable antimalware tool instead.
