SlimCleaner Plus is supposed to be a great system optimization tool. You can download it for free, scan your OS, and fix various issues. It sounds great on paper. Once you install the app, though, it reveals its true face. SlimCleaner Plus is a rogue application that displays fake scan results to lure you into purchasing its paid version. And the app doesn’t stop here. It floods your screen with warning, alerts, and notifications. It uses every opportunity to annoy you with its questionable scan reports. Security researches categorize this type of rogue software as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). It is a type of malware that floods your browser with deceptive content and lures you into unwanted actions. Don’t tolerate this menace! The PUP is not a full-fledged virus, but it certainly can cause trouble. This intruder floods your computer with alerts. It is so aggressive that it causes performance issues such as freezing and crashes. You face an avalanche of errors and malfunctions. This parasite can make a slow computer useless. Do not tolerate it! Your best course of action is the immediate removal of the PUP. Take action as soon as you notice its presence. Find where SlimCleaner Plus hides and remove it upon detection!

How did I get infected with SlimCleaner Plus?

Fake updates, corrupted links, malvertising, bundles, pirated software – there are myriads of PUP distribution methods. And SlimCleaner Plus uses all known tricks. The thing about this parasite is that it can’t hack your OS. The PUP needs you, the user, to approve its access. It is bound to seek your consent. And it does! It always asks. It, however, does so in the sneakiest way possible! The parasite hides in the fine print. It infects your computer when you let your guard down. Don’t make that mistake. No anti-virus app can protect you if you throw caution to the wind. Only your diligence can prevent infections. So, don’t be lazy. Make the right decision – choose caution over carelessness. Don’t visit questionable websites. Download software and updates from reliable (preferably official) sources only. And, of course, don’t skip installation steps. Forget about the “Next-Next-Finish” installation strategy. If available, select the advanced/custom/manual setup wizard. Don’t rush through it. Deselect the unwanted bonus-apps and go through the terms and conditions. If you can’t spare enough time to read the whole document, scan it with an online EULA analyzer. Even a little extra attention can spare you an avalanche of problems. Don’t hesitate to abort the installation if you notice anything suspicious!

Why is SlimCleaner Plus dangerous?

SlimCleaner Plus is a nightmare. It sneaks into your computer and floods you with annoying alerts and warnings. It’s so intrusive that even your browsing activities get affected. That’s right – the PUP interferes with the websites you visit. This parasite might insert banners on the web pages you load, open push-up notifications, and redirect your web traffic. It is, of course, also able to display notifications that urge you to “Accept” modifications. Click nothing! You are dealing with a trickster. SlimCleaner Plus exists to generate revenue for its shady operators. These people don’t have your best interest in mind. Their app is useless at best. At worst, it lures people into traps. That’s not a joke. The PUPs are notorious for tricking their victims into sharing sensitive information, subscribing to unneeded services, and installing malware. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The PUPs also tend to leak confidential information. So, be careful. Don’t follow the PUP’s links, don’t “Allow” notifications, and most importantly, don’t purchase its paid version. Such actions won’t accomplish anything. You’ll only encourage the crooks to continue their shady business. Don’t become their sponsor! Do what’s best for you and privacy – remove the PUP. The sooner you delete this intruder, the better!
