Can’t Remove SpeedUp PC 2018? This page includes detailed SpeedUp PC 2018 Removal instructions!
There are many apps that can clean and optimize your system for free. The SpeedUp PC 2018 utility is not one of them. Security researchers have classified this app as PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). This means that the app has hidden functions — advertising functions. In order to convince you to buy the full version of the app, the developers of the SpeedUp PC 2018 app has programmed it to display advertisements. But don’t imagine an ad or two. The PUP bombards its victims with adverts. It injects dozens and dozens of ads on every website you visit. You must have noticed that previously ad-free websites are now heavy on advertisements. Pop-ups and pop-unders cover your screen every time you as much as touch your browser. Your online videos also seem to be paused for unusually long commercial breaks. Thank the PUP for these issues. It uses aggressive and misleading strategies to turn you into a paying customer. The app injects deceptive adverts on every website you visit. Various advertisements state that there is a critical problem with your computer, that if you don’t fix it at once, there will be devastating consequences. The PUP redirects your web traffic to questionable web pages that push the unwanted program on you. This marketing campaign works on a psychological level. It is not ethical, to say the least. Plus, it is very annoying. You cannot get any task done without being interrupted. Don’t let this parasite ruin your browsing experience. Clean your computer as soon as possible.
How did I get infected with SpeedUp PC 2018?
To reach its victims, the SpeedUp PC 2018 PUP uses a lot of trickery. It is spread through a massive marketing campaign as well as through stealth. If you haven’t downloaded this utility intentionally, it must have arrived through spam messages, torrents, software bundles or fake updates. Truth is, you could have prevented this infection. The PUP cannot install itself. It needs your permission to enter. No approval — no installation. Yet, it doesn’t need to ask openly. It asks in the sneakiest way possible. Confused? Let’s explain. Software developers attach the PUP as an extra to third-party apps. Files that install more than one program are called software bundles. When you start the installation process of a bundle, you will be asked to select an installation wizard. Which one do you prefer, the Advanced or the Standard? The Standard is not a good choice. This wizard is completely automatic. Once started, you lose control over it. The Standard wizard installs all additional programs that have been attached to the bundle. Your explicit approval is not needed, so you are not asked. To prevent this, select the Advanced option. Under it, you will be presented with a list of all extra apps. You can deselect them and still install the program you originally planned to set up. Make sure you install trustworthy programs only. Deselect all suspicious elements. Also, read the Terms and Conditions. If you spot anything out of the ordinary, abort the installation immediately. Do not be negligent. The Internet is too dangerous. This time a PUP tricked you. Yet, there will be a next time. You may not be as lucky. So, don’t be lazy. Always do your due diligence!

The PUP terrorizes its users/victims with adverts. It displays dozens and dozens of deceptive ads that claim that there are critical problems with your OS.
