Simpliclean is not an essential for your OS program. If you don’t want it, you can safely remove it. This piece of software often surprises its users. The program uses trickery and is often installed unintentionally. If you haven’t installed this app on purpose, it is probably best for you to remove it. Even thought Simpliclean is not a virus, it is quite shady. Security experts have classified the program as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). There are many reasons for this classification. The stealthy installation, for example, is one. Second, the app is promoted as a free tool while in reality only some of its functions are actually free. The full version of the app is paid. And last, but not least, this utility has hidden functions. Advertising functions. If you are using the free version of the program, you will notice that the amount of online commercials you are exposed to is increased. The PUP is behind this change. The app injects various advertisements on every website you open. It pauses your online videos for commercial breaks and opens pop-ups. Websites that used to be ad-free are now covered in coupons, deals, and discounts. By injecting these ads, the PUP actually slows down your Internet Connection and PC. Not to mention how annoying the adverts are. Every time you as much as touch your browser, dozens and dozens of ads appear on your screen. The Simpliclean PUP is preventing you from using your computer normally. Do not let this continue any longer. Remove this intruder now!
How did I get infected with Simpliclean?
The Simplitec Simpliclean has an official download page. The program is also advertised on some third-party websites. Yet, most of its “users” have no idea how did the app manage to enter their machines. If you are one of them, we have shocking news for you. You did it. You installed the Simpliclean PUP. Not intentionally, of course. This furtive utility is not an ingenious virus. It cannot install itself. The app uses software bundles and relies on your carelessness. Never rush through an installation process. Your security depends on your vigilance. Many software developers attach extra apps to the payload files of their programs. These extras, more often than not, are malicious. So, make sure you know what you are giving your approval to. If you are offered a choice between a Standard and an Advanced installation option, always choose the Advanced. Under it, you will be presented with a list of all extra programs that are about to be installed. You can deselect the extras and still install the app you originally planned to set up. If you select the Standard setup, however, all additional apps will be installed automatically. This time you were lucky, this PUP is removable. Yet, there are deadly apps that use the same technique to reach their victims. It is up to you to keep your computer virus-free. Always do your due diligence!
Why is Simpliclean dangerous?
