Do you know what System Clean Pro is?
System Clean Pro is a new version of a system optimizer we have seen many times before. The interface of this potentially unwanted program (PUP) is identical to the interfaces of Auto PC Cleaner 2019, AutoClean Pro 2018, Win PC Repair 2018, and a bunch of other programs that pose as system optimizers. They are all free to install, but their services are not free. The worst part is that the services are not worth the money that is asked for it. If you have paid money already, you might try to get it back. If you are still running the free scanner that the program offers, we suggest that you delete it right away. We have created a guide that shows how to remove System Clean Pro from your Windows operating system manually, and we hope that that will be enough for you to clear it. Just in case, we also discuss an alternative route you could take to get rid of the PUP.
Some System Clean Pro users have downloaded it from bitsspeeduptools.live. Others might have used a third-party installer that packaged a number of different programs and extensions. In both cases, it is a terrific idea to inspect your operating system using a malware scanner. If anything that must be removed exists, you will be notified immediately, and you will be able to take action. Of course, you might have your hands full with System Clean Pro alone. This program certainly does not look malicious, and it promises to remove adware and malicious add-ons, provide you with “error free surfing,” and even speed up your operating system. The first things you should do before installing anything is check privacy policies (bitsspeeduptools.live/Privacypolicy) and figure out how much the services cost. The pricing of the PUP is definitely suspicious. The price on the home page of the official website is 23.95 EUR, but if you click “Buy Now,” you are routed to store.bitsspeeduptools.live/scpo/price, where it is revealed that the full price is 33.95. Finally, “Just for Today” offer pops up to suggest a price of 11.98 EUR. This is a red flag telling you that the app is very fishy.

System Clean Pro – signed by PC Care Tools – performs a free system scan as soon as it is installed. The scanner lists malware and PUP threats, as well as system performance, software, and startup-related issues. Are they real? According to our research team, fake results are not shown, but the items that the PUP lists are unlikely to be critical and cause PC slowdown. If your system is slower than usual, the chances are that other kinds of malware (e.g., a miner) exist and must be removed, but System Clean Pro will not do it. It will remove temporary files and empty registries, but this is not the kind of service you want to invest in. Instead, you want to delete System Clean Pro and find a tool that will serve you right. For example, you might want to look into legitimate anti-malware software.
Do not be intimidated by the guide below. There are quite a few steps to go through, but if you have a few minutes to spare, you should handle the removal of System Clean Pro with ease. Just follow every step carefully, and if you have any questions – post them in the comments section below. You can also uninstall the unwanted application via the Control Panel (go to ‘Uninstall a program’ menu). If you are truly lost, and you also have to worry about other threats that are active on your operating system, installing anti-malware software is the right move for you. It will automatically delete System Clean Pro and the rest of the PUPs or malicious threats, and your system’s full protection will be reinstated.

In non-techie terms:
Although System Clean Pro is not a malicious threat, it is not a beneficial program it claims to be either. It can scan your operating system for free, and the “items” it finds might be legit, but you need to ask yourself if these “items” are worth your attention and your money. The PUP will ask you to pay for the removal services, and it is not worth it. Even if all temporary files and unused registry entries are erased, your system is unlikely to start running faster or better or safer. Due to these reasons, we advise deleting the PUP from the operating system. You can uninstall System Clean Pro, use the instructions above to delete it one component at a time, or you can employ anti-malware software. We recommend choosing the latter route if other threats exist and if you care about your system’s security in the future.
