PcRegBoost is supposed to be a humble PC optimization tool. It should be able to clean your system’s registry and free up space on your hard drive. However, behind its shiny facade, this utility is nothing else, but a malicious program. PcRegBoost is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). It uses aggressive marketing strategies to turn its victims from visitors into customers. This parasite has an official website. On it, you can download a trial version of the program or buy it directly. This is a psychological trick. The program looks more trustworthy when it is paid. Furthermore, this is an easy way for the crooks to make a mint. And don’t think that the free trial is a deal. Once this utility has access to your system, you can say “Goodbye” to your privacy and security. The PcRegBoost app has only one true goal – to generate revenue for its owners. It uses the so-called pay-per-click marketing system. For every ad you click on, the people behind PcRegBoost will be paid. You must have guessed it already, but let’s say it again. The PcRegBoost app is the reason why you are flooded with ads. This furtive program creates an ad-layer which forces ads on all opened web pages. Furthermore, it blocks its competitors’ advertisements. You are seeing only the content that was approved by the malicious tool. Thus, it is robbing you from your free choice. Eventually, you will lose track of the current marketing situation and become an easy target. And trust us on this, you are a target. PcRegBoost is bombarding you with ads that you will find attractive, for all of them are selected for precisely you. To do so, the furtive application collects data about your online activities. In other words, it is spying on you. Everything you do online is no longer private. Now, you are sharing this information with the owners of PcRegBoost. Don’t let this continue.

How did I get infected with PcRegBoost?
If you haven’t installed PcRegBoost by yourself, then we can safely assume that you were tricked to do it. Yes, you were the one who installed this menace. To operate on your system, this tool needs your permission. There is no other way. Don’t be too harsh on yourself. You were deceived. PcRegBoost wasn’t the program you thought it was. It might have arrived as a bundled program to some freeware or shareware you downloaded off the web. Developers tend to hide extra programs under custom/advanced tabs and buttons. When installing a program, opt for such a button. One more thing. The advanced installation may be presented as a suitable choice for IT experts only. This is a low-class deception. There is nothing complicated in it. It is a simple step-by-step installation wizard. Just like the standard option. However, only under the custom method, can the user see all extra programs that come along and deny their installation. We strongly advise you to deselect all extras. These tools do look useful, yet, if you take a moment to consider the situation, you will realize that if you truly needed such apps, you would have downloaded them by yourself. Be vigilant and doubting.
Why is PcRegBoost dangerous?

It will make the data available for sale to third parties. Yes, there are people willing to buy such information. Be careful what you do online while this parasite remains active on your machine. It can steal your usernames and passwords. If this data ends up in the hands of a capable hacker, you may lose money or become a victim of identity theft. Don’t put your security at risk. Remove PcRegBoost as soon as possible. All these issues apart, there are more trivial “dangers” hidden behind this tool. PcRegBoost is supposed to speed up your PC, yet, it does exactly the opposite. It uses your computer’s resources. And it uses a lot of them. It can cause your machine to freeze and even crash. If such an event occurs, you will lose all unsaved data. Don’t put up with this.
