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.

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

I am going to contact the Federal Trade Commission about this rogue program! It invaded my pc and I cannot get rid of it! It hides and is not in the add/remove section of my pc. I am VERY angry about this and I intend to make as much trouble for these thieves as I can.!!
