How to remove PC Accelerate Pro

PC Accelerate Pro is malicious app that can disguise itself by using SilverSpeedUp or NoblePCAP process names

PC Accelerate Pro is a potentially unwanted application that could have gained access to your PC without permission – you either downloaded it with other free software from the internet or got tricked by fake updates. The app operates as an alleged system optimizer that can find unwanted files, clean the registry, and boost the speed of a Windows computer, as well as the internet connection speed. However, it could not be further from the truth.

It is a rogue program that uses several malicious techniques in order to make users purchase its full license. To be precise, it shows fake scan results and uses attributes within them to make users worried about their computer health – red colors, exaggerated problems, etc. Additionally, it might also engage in obfuscation techniques by using fake process names to prevent an easy PC Accelerate Pro uninstall. In any case, this program will not improve your computer or internet speed and instead might damage vital Windows files by deleting legitimate registry keys.^[1]

PC Accelerate Pro is advertised as a useful computer optimization software. However, if you are looking for a tool that can clean junk files from your computer and speed up its performance, we warn you that this PC optimizer might not solve these problems for you, but create additional ones instead.

Rather than providing useful service, this shady application is going to worsen your computer's performance, decrease its speed and overall functionality. You might also notice that this application blocks access to certain computer security-related websites, too.

The reason why this optimizer functions like that is that it wants to make the user believe that there are serious problems that need to be fixed, and then the app starts to display alerts and pop-up notifications to fulfill the entire image of a messed-up computer. This rogue application imitates fake system scans and tells the user that he needs to fix all issues immediately.

Please, do not fall for such claims, because this system tool wants nothing more than to convince you to spend your money on its full version, which is unlikely to be powerful enough to do anything useful to your computer system. Therefore, you should remove the app without a doubt and look for a more reliable program that can fix your PC.

We suggest installing a better alternative – anti-malware tool that can remove malicious programs from it. As for the optimization purposes of the application, you should rely on FortectIntego that could help you with potentially damaged system files after Accelerate Pro removal.

Though the virus is not considered to be highly malicious or damaging, it performs its function of scareware quite well. IT professionals have detected that this particular feature is distributed along with freeware bundles and on deceptive pages, tech support scam sites.^[2]

Once you call the number or contact those scammers from misleading sites, the person you are connected with might persuade you into purchasing another security program that malfunctions on its behalf. Additionally, after such a pleasant conversation with the supposed tech support professional, the next bill of telecommunication services might leave you in awe. Stay away from the free and paid version of the app.

Unwanted programs slip into the system unnoticed

A download link to download this vague program can be found on its official website. Alternatively, you might encounter it promoting its services via various advertisements on Internet sites, but surprisingly, you can start receiving its alerts on your computer without downloading it to your computer by yourself.

Therefore, it becomes clear that this program can slither into your PC silently. When did it happen? You might recall installing a new program recently. Thus, due to recklessness, you probably have hit the “Install” button without noticing that the program included several additional applications.

As a result, a shady tool got installed as well. If you are interested in how you can avoid installing potentially fraudulent programs, then take note of this advice. First of all, you should choose either “Advanced” or “Custom” settings when installing new programs. Afterward, carefully look for any suspicious and irrelevant attachments. If you find any, remove ticks from checkboxes next to them. These are the steps that experts^[3] tend to warn about.

Make sure to properly remove PC Accelerate Pro virus

It might be a troublesome activity to exterminate the program. You might try to do it manually – you need to access the Control Panel and uninstall the app, as explained below. However, keep in mind that two more processes might be running in the background and prevent PUP removal.

If, after removing it from the list of system applications, you still keep seeing fake system error notifications, it is likely that associated files have been left. Hence, you should perform additional steps if you want to remove application for good:

• Open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc
• Click on Mode Details
• Within the list, look for the following entries: MBSilverSpeedUp, PC Accelerate Pro, or NoblePCAP
• Right-click on each of them and select End Task
• Now open File Explorer by pressing Win + E
• Check Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders for the entries mentioned above – delete them if found.
• Clean your web browsers – clear cache/data, delete suspicious extensions, etc. (check the guide below if you don't know how to do it).

Nonetheless, even after you do all this, the leftovers might remain. That is why we recommend installing a reputable anti-malware program that efficiently performs the PC Accelerate Pro uninstallation process. If you believe that your system was damaged by the unwanted app, we recommend you attempt to fix this damage automatically with a repair software.
