DailyPCClean – questionable system software that gathers income from its paid version

DailyPCClean PUP

DailyPCClean, developed by Tuto4PC, is known to be a questionable system optimizer created for benefiting the developers only. According to these people, their tool might be very handy by its ability to identify and eliminate errors, clean the system from unnecessary files/entries, and keep it optimized all the time. However, keep in mind that such an attractive promotion is just a trick to push the program's licensed version and this is one of the reasons why the rogue security software refers to DailyPCClean virus. What it does is providing fake scan results with an entire list of “errors” or “threats”. Afterward, the program claims that the system can be “fixed” only by purchasing the key of the product's licensed version.

Infiltration of rogue tools happens due to careless activity on the web

As we have already mentioned, some bogus tools can be downloaded from the official website. However, more frequently scareware attacks targeted system with the help of other freeware and shareware. Therefore, be very careful when installing free programs on your computer. Usually, careless actions while completing the downloading/installing process lead to the unwanted infiltration of third-party products.

Make sure that you select Advanced or Custom installation and deselect any checkmarks that aim to suggest installing additional products. By the way, be aware of Quick, Recommended, or Typical configuration settings that are not safe to use. In addition, you need to know that there are places in which third-party software might be met. It can be piracy or gambling networks, infectious adverts/hyperlinks.

You should always be sure that the source you are visiting is fully secured and is not provided as an unsafe page by your antivirus program (if you do not have antivirus protection already, do not hesitate to get one). Skipping odd looking pages might truly help you avoid unwanted objects. Also, do not click on suspicious-looking offers or links that might execute the installation of a PUP[2] or even something malicious (trojan, for example).
