Do you know what RapidFixer is?

As a matter of fact, according to our researchers who tested this application in our internal lab, this is a potentially unwanted program (PUP). And if we say it is unwanted, there has to be a few reasons for that.

Why would you keep a questionable application on-board, when you can download reliable ones that can do a much better job? We advise you to rapidly remove RapidFixer if you do not want to encounter system security issues. The truth of the matter is that it will not even be enough to eliminate this PUP alone.

RapidFixer claims to be the best “do-it-all” maintenance software, which is rather farfetched if you get to know this suspicious program. It is possible that it finishes your system scan in just a few seconds. Well, you could definitely call that “rapid”; however, you should know that a proper and deep system scan can take around half an hour depending on the size and number of your hard drives and the speed of your CPU. So you can imagine what kind of scan it is that this PUP performs.
According to our research team, this program mainly finds empty or unused windows registry entries and junk files. But if you run it on a completely freshly installed system, it might still find hundreds of errors, which is a bit suspicious. It is possible that this application is nothing more than the usual PC optimizer scam programs that want to push you to buy their products to fix those “urgent” and alleged errors. If you really want to protect your PC and keep it secure, our rapid fix and choice for you would be to delete RapidFixer and install SpyHunter, an antimalware program that can sort out all your security issues and also warn you before you could make a potential mistake by downloading unwanted programs and malware infections.
This PUP gets more suspicious when you actually install it. As a matter of fact, no matter if you download the official installer at rapidfixer.com or it arrives in a freeware bundle. Do you know why? Because both may contain malware infections, such as adware programs, browser hijackers, and more PUPs. Therefore, it will not be sufficient to remove RapidFixer, you will have to identify and eliminate all other threats as well if you want to restore the health of your computer.
