SpeedUpMyPC 2014, also known as Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC 2014, is a questionable program that is presented as a powerful PC optimization tool capable of making PCs run faster. The most important thing that you have to remember about this program is that it may show up on your machine without you even noticing that. According to various reports, it may be spread in a bundle with video recording or streaming software, download managers, PDF creators, and similar programs, so you should be very careful when downloading these programs on your computer. Once SpeedUpMyPC enters the system, it starts checking it for bad registry entries, junk files and other things that are closely related to PC's speed. Later on, these components are presented as crucial errors that can be fixed only by purchasing the license key for the advanced version of the security tool.

SpeedUpMyPC virus is a term used for describing this fake system tool although it is not malicious. However, this name is added due to the secrecy of its installation and misleading scan results.

If you have somehow installed SpeedUpMyPC on your computer, you will supposedly overcome components such as speedupmypc.exe and speedupmypc.tmp.

You should never trust applications such as SpeedUpMyPC because they provide misleading scan results as dangerous threats that can be cured only with the advanced version of the program.

SpeedUpMyPC security softwareSpeedUpMyPC is a suspicious security tool that enters the system via bundling techniques or downloaded from secondary sources

Rogue security software appearance techniques

Suspicious security programs may show up on your PC without downloading them because they are often distributed as a free component of various free programs. This method, that is commonly used between third-party developers is known as bundling and it has already initiated various discussions on the Internet because it relies on the fact that people fail to monitor installation of the software.

Fortunately, avoiding unwanted installations of third-party products is not as complicated as it may seem from the first sight. You just need to opt for the Custom or Advanced installation method and then carefully follow every installation step. Then, look for “optional downloads” and similar hidden components and prevent their installation by unchecking the checkmark that claims that you agree with their installation.

Experts from NoVirus.uk[3] claim that another popular downloading source of potentially unwanted products is third-party websites. There might be more than one source that promotes the same product as this type of method brings greater income. Do not get tricked by such websites and always use only official downloading sources for your software. Additionally, you should run antivirus protection that will alert if you aim to install anything suspicious.

How to prevent from getting system tools

Do not let government spy on you

The government has many issues in regards to tracking users' data and spying on citizens, so you should take this into consideration and learn more about shady information gathering practices. Avoid any unwanted government tracking or spying by going totally anonymous on the internet. 

You can choose a different location when you go online and access any material you want without particular content restrictions. You can easily enjoy internet connection without any risks of being hacked by using Private Internet Access VPN.

Control the information that can be accessed by government any other unwanted party and surf online without being spied on. Even if you are not involved in illegal activities or trust your selection of services, platforms, be suspicious for your own security and take precautionary measures by using the VPN service.

Backup files for the later use, in case of the malware attack

Computer users can suffer from data losses due to cyber infections or their own faulty doings. Ransomware can encrypt and hold files hostage, while unforeseen power cuts might cause a loss of important documents. If you have proper up-to-date backups, you can easily recover after such an incident and get back to work. It is also equally important to update backups on a regular basis so that the newest information remains intact – you can set this process to be performed automatically.

When you have the previous version of every important document or project you can avoid frustration and breakdowns. It comes in handy when malware strikes out of nowhere. Use Data Recovery Pro for the data restoration process.
