Hello, I am really confused because I can see pop-up messages from a program that I cannot remember installing. Is it a virus? The name of this program is StartupMaximizer.

No, it is not a virus, but it is not a genuine or trustworthy program either. StartupMaximizer is considered to be a system tool, which belongs to a category of potentially unwanted programs (PUP). It seems that this rogue PC optimizer shows inadequate scan results to frighten the computer user and make him/her believe that the computer is full of system errors. We suggest removing StartupMaximizer PUP from your computer.
