SlimCleaner Plus is a legitimate app. It is designed to clean junk files and old registry entries. The app is advertised as a system optimizer that can help your OS run smoothly. And all this for free. It sounds almost too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well, what this app does not disclose properly are its hidden functions. SlimCleaner Plus is an advertising app. It floods its users with countless pop-ups and notifications. Thus, security experts categorize the utility as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). Consider its removal. This app is a complete an utter menace. It follows programming to inject ads on every website you visit. You would notice that even web pages that used to be ad-free are now heavy on in-text and banner adverts. Pop-ups and notifications pop up every time you so much as touch your browser. Even your videos get paused for commercial breaks. And the most irritating part is that these numerous adverts burden your browser and make it prone to freezing and crashes. Do not put yourself through this torture. SlimCleaner Plus is not worth the struggle. Do what’s best for you and your system’s well-being. Remove the deceptive utility ASAP!

How did I get infected with SlimCleaner Plus?

Malvertising, software bundles, fake updates, corrupted links. There are myriads of ways for a PUP to reach your system. And SlimCleaner Plus uses all known tricks. This deceptive app lurks in the shadows and waits for you to let your guard down. It attacks when you least expect it. Its schemes, however, have flaws. The PUP needs you, the user, to approve its installation. There is no other way for the parasite to get installed. No permission, no admission. The app is bound to seek your consent. And it does. SlimCleaner Plus always asks. But it does so in the sneakiest way possible. If you let your guard down even for a second, if you don’t pay attention to the fine print, you are very likely to let the PUP on board. Do not make that mistake! Do not give into naivety. No anti-virus app can protect you if you throw caution to the wind. Only your actions can keep your device secure and infection-free. Even a little extra attention can spare you an avalanche of problems. Do not visit questionable websites. Download software and updates from reputable (preferably official) sources only! And forget about the “Next-Next-Finish” setup strategy. If available, use the advanced/custom option. Make sure you know what you install. Read the terms and conditions before you agree to them. If you cannot spare enough time to go through the whole document, scan it with an online EULA analyzer. Opt out of the installation if you notice anything suspicious!
