| Name | PC Win Booster |
|---|---|
| Type | Potentially unwanted program/ rogue system tool |
| Issues | The tool claims to fix system errors, clean malware, and optimize the performance, but the list of found problems is not genuine. The program allegedly scans the system and displays a list of predetermined issues, so people fall for the trick and purchase the application that should fix all the errors |
| Price | Soft4boost offers the subscription plans for all the programs and services for $24,95. Prices may vary because creators use discounts and offer to coerce people |
| Danger | The program that is free or the licensed version gives no value, so people pay for nothing. Additionally, programs may trigger changes that damage the machine or install other apps that change the performance further |
| Distribution | Official websites promote and distribute various products of these developers, but more often this PUP comes as a part of the freeware bundle[1] when the user is downloading other programs on the system |
| Elimination | PC-Win-Booster removal can become difficult when program alters settings or adds other files on the machine, so you should rely on anti-malware tools that can find any threat or potential intruder for you |
| Repair | PC optimizers like this do nothing for the performance or speed of the machine. It can damage the machine with all the registry cleaning and junk file deletion, so get FortectIntego and fix those issues, repair affected software properly yourself |

This is one of many Windows tools that even Microsoft[2] is warning users about. This is not the program that could be used. Especially, when the PUP is considered intrusive and dangerous. 
This tool cannot make any positive changes on the machine, but it makes alterations that affect PC-Win-Booster removal in a significant way. When some functions of the machine and programs that run on the computer get disabled, finding all the parts of the shady tool can be difficult. Anti-malware tools are needed because those detection engines are focusing on malicious or potentially dangerous behavior, so files can be found this way.
In general, experts[3] do not call this program a virus or malicious application, but PC-Win-Booster can be associated with shady services, third-party programs.

You need to clear all traces of the shady program, so run the proper anti-malware tool and terminate PC-Win-Booster, other tools, browser-based applications. Then you should run tools like FortectIntego or system optimizer and find or even fix the virus damage that was left behind.
