According to many analyses of the application and developer Systweak Software, and particular symptoms, it falls into the category of potentially unwanted applications because it is not capable of doing what the promotional material claims.

Advanced System Protector virus is the name that users[1] often use to describe this program because it appears out of nowhere and causes questionable scan results, warmings, other suspicious behavior related to promotions of software. Most of the complaints in online forums show that this unwanted application appeared after a freeware installation due to a third-party installer. This is one of the more common techniques used to spread PUPs and rogue tools, so all the changes can be made in the background and users fall for the claims about alleged system issues.

How to prevent from getting system tools

Choose a proper web browser and improve your safety with a VPN tool

Online spying has got momentum in recent years and people are getting more and more interested in how to protect their privacy online. One of the basic means to add a layer of security – choose the most private and secure web browser. Although web browsers can't grant full privacy protection and security, some of them are much better at sandboxing, HTTPS upgrading, active content blocking, tracking blocking, phishing protection, and similar privacy-oriented features. However, if you want true anonymity, we suggest you employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN – it can encrypt all the traffic that comes and goes out of your computer, preventing tracking completely.

 

Lost your files? Use data recovery software

While some files located on any computer are replaceable or useless, others can be extremely valuable. Family photos, work documents, school projects – these are types of files that we don't want to lose. Unfortunately, there are many ways how unexpected data loss can occur: power cuts, Blue Screen of Death errors, hardware failures, crypto-malware attack, or even accidental deletion.

To ensure that all the files remain intact, you should prepare regular data backups. You can choose cloud-based or physical copies you could restore from later in case of a disaster. If your backups were lost as well or you never bothered to prepare any, Data Recovery Pro can be your only hope to retrieve your invaluable files.
