PCCleanPro is yet another fake security tool. It is distributed by Zlob, Vundo and other trojans. PC Clean Pro is not dangerous on its own, but it indicates that there are trojans on the compromised computer.

PCClean Pro is promoted as computer protection program, but the advertising is misleading. PCClean Pro is a malware; once it gets on a system, it’s difficult to uninstall. PCCleanPro tries to scare users with fabricated security messages. It reports compromising material found on a computer; it also reports internet history records and emails being accessible for hackers and financial data being at risk. The alerts loaded by PCClean Pro are exaggerated; a typical message looks like this:

“PC Clean Pro has detected 487 unwanted and compromising items on your computer. These items are very likely to jeopardize your privacy. You must clean your PC now.”

PC Clean Pro targets users’ money: it claims that paid version of PCCleanPro will remove all the infections. Don’t byte this hook and don’t give your money for scammers.
