Remove PC MightyMax. Description and removal instructions

 
Title: PC MightyMax
Also known as: PC Mighty Max, PCMightyMax, PCMighty Max
Type: Malware
Severity scale:PC MightyMax severity is 68  (68 / 100)
 
PC MightyMax can be classified as fake and useless diagnostic tool, because it can be difficult to exit without purchasing the full version of this product. It seems that PC Mighty Max was design to periodically display pop-up windows and distracting alerts in order to scare users hopping that they will buy this worthless application.

PC MightyMax runs automatically when computer starts, and there is no easy way how to change this behaviour. What is more, it has no setting to allow users to disable this function. Every few hours, PC MightyMax displays "CRITICAL ALERT" and "Alert!!!" pop-up windows that are mainly advertisements for the full version of the this software. These officious alerts can even make beeping noises decreasing user's ability to work with his computer. Summing-up, PC MightyMax may be considered as unwanted application which should be removed without consideration.

Why does microsoft remain silent on PC Mighty Max malware?

The easiest way to get rid of this pest is to block it in the start-up, either in the task manager or using ccleaner, (tools/ start-up )which is a free download,(pest free as well). This will not remove it but it will be effectively dead.

I am trying to get your pop-up removed from my computor. I have tryed everything. Sent email and called on the phone. Nothing works. I think mighty max is nothing but a scam. My next step is to make a formal complaint through legal channels.Tomorrow I call a friend in Washington.

I dealt with this problem on two of my family members' Windows Vista machines this week and I wanted to add another process to kill to the list above.

Trayicon.exe

Pcmightymax appeared under this name in the task manager in both instances.

The rest of the information worked well. Thanks!

I downloaded PCmighty max and it has not done a thing for my computer. In fact it has slowed it down to a crawl. I am 70 yrs. old and cannot remove it from my computer.

It is also a sponsored link on the WSJ. Given the amount of bad press surely it would be an easy process for the WSJ advetising Dept to knock it back
