Junk Sweeper falls in the vast category of PUP. It’s a potentially unwanted program, and it’s a danger to your system. As well as, to your privacy. PUPs are a menace. They’re a plague on your PC. Once they slither in, their programming kicks in, and they start wreaking havoc. And, once the mess-making begins, it doesn’t end until their deletion. For as long as the tool remains, it will throw issues your way. So, why allow it? Why take chances? Why risk your private life? The more time you grant it on your PC, the more opportunities it has to wreck it. And, the culmination of its stay, is your private details handed to strangers. Yes, Junk Sweeper will NOT go through with a single promise. It WILL fall short on each one. What it WILL do, is steal information from you, and send it to unknown individuals. The PUP spies on you from the minute it settles in your system. It keeps track of your browsing, and catalogs your online activities. After it decides it has sufficient data from you, it hands it to the people that published it. The people that created a dangerous cyber infection, and unleashed it onto the web. Those people will have access to your privacy. Are you going to trust them with your personal and financial details? Do you think they’re worth the benefit of the doubt? Don’t be naive. Protect yourself from these people. Avoid the countless other inconveniences, Junk Sweeper puts you through. Once you realize the tool has invaded your PC, find and delete it. Do it sooner rather than later. Time is of the essence.

How did I get infected with Junk Sweeper?

Junk Sweeper slithers into your system undetected. It preys on your carelessness, and gains access without you even knowing it. How? Well, it uses the old but gold means of infiltration. It turns to every trick in the book, and dupes you. It fools you into agreeing to install it, all while keeping you oblivious. That may seem contradictory, but it’s rather simple. The PUP relies on your distraction and naivety. It lurks behind freeware or spam email attachments. Or, corrupted links or sites. Or, pretends to be a fake update. And, hopes you’re careless enough not to spot it. If you’re not thorough enough, and skip the terms and conditions, it succeeds. If you rush and don’t do your due diligence, it’s more than likely to end up with a cyber menace. Infections like Junk Sweeper prey on your carelessness. So, why provide it? Don’t rely on luck. Do your due diligence, and take your time when installing a tool or an update. Vigilance and caution improve your chances of keeping your PC infection-free. Remember that.

Why is Junk Sweeper dangerous?

Junk Sweeper claims to help you optimize your system. Its selling point is that it improves your computer’s performance. The tool states that it makes your PC better. First of all, you have to realize that Junk Sweeper is bogus. It’s a fake tool that serves a fake purpose to dupe you out of your real money. It’s a deceptive, unreliable application. And, it runs the exact same scheme, we’ve all come to know. The one, which all PUPs posing as optimization tools use. Once the program infiltrates your PC, it pretends to scan your system. It pretends because tools like it are incapable of doing scans. So, everything it shows you is a lie. But it presents it as the real deal. Junk Sweeper scans your computer, and lo and behold! It’s full of issues, questionable files, infections, etc. You name it, you have it! The tool finds your system brimming with threats. Its results can range from a dozen threatening discoveries to hundreds of them. Don’t buy it! It’s scare tactics! The application tries to frighten you into doing something that you’ll later regret. What, you may ask? Well, buy its full version, of course! That’s the whole point of the bogus scans and the bogus results. Let’s elaborate. The version you have on your computer is free. It can find the issues and point them out. It can even present you with solutions to the problems. The, problems, which it uncovered. But it cannot solve them. If you wish to rid your system of threats, you have to get the full version of Junk Sweeper. And, of course, it costs money. The tool’s purpose is to produce profit for the people that published it. Monetary gain. Not system optimization. It has a back-up plan if the scare tactics don’t work. If you don’t immediately purchase the bogus tool, it employs reminders as a means. It bombards you with countless reminders, prompting you to go and get the full version. Ignore each one! Ignore the reminders. Ignore the results. Ignore the scans. It’s all an elaborate plan, devised by wicked people to get your money. Don’t let them win. Keep your money out of their hands. Keep their nasty PUP away from your system. Once you realize Junk Sweeper is on your PC, delete it! Find and remove it after its first ‘scan.’ It’s the best course of action you can take.
