Smart PC Mechanic

Smart PC Mechanic is yet another potentially unwanted program, and it is offered at www.smartpcmechanics.com by Tuneup PC Tool Ltd. This company is also linked to the suspicious Master PC Cleaner, which can be acquired from its own download page, masterpccleaner.com. While researching the Privacy Policy of the suspicious PUP, our research team found an email address (support@masterpccleaner.com) that bridges the gap between these two programs. It is unknown whether that is a mistake or if the creator of these unreliable applications is using one email address for all communication. All in all, it is clear that something is not right. Why would two almost identical programs be created at all? That suggests that the developer is interested in quantity over quality, and that is not a good sign. The reality is that neither of these two applications deserves your trust, and it is strongly recommended by our research team that you delete them both. If you want to learn more, and you are curious about the removal of Smart PC Mechanic, this is the report you need to read.

Although an official download website exists, that does not mean that this is how you downloaded the suspicious Smart PC Mechanic. In fact, it is more likely that you found this allegedly beneficial tool attached to something else. Legitimate and reliable programs can be bundled together; however, in many cases, software bundles are unreliable and carry malicious pieces of software. So, have you acquired the PUP along with something harmless or malicious? The easiest way to find that out is by installing and running a legitimate malware scanner. Hopefully, other threats are not found, and you do not need to panic about a bunch of undesirable programs running on your PC. Speaking of undesirable programs, not all users will even suspect Smart PC Mechanic being unreliable. That is because it is introduced to users as the best tool for improving the system’s performance. It is suggested that this PUP can offer you a Registry Cleanup, an Add-on Remover, and even a Startup Manager. Obviously, if these tools were reliable or functional, we would not be discussing the removal of this application.

As soon as Smart PC Mechanic is executed on your operating system, a system scan is initiated. The process is completed in a very short time, which is an indication that it is not a trustworthy scanner. Once the scan is finished, you are introduced to hundreds of “Issues” under such categories as Malware/PUP Threats, System Performance Issues, System/User Software Issues, and Startup/Uninstall and User Issues. Are these “issues” real, and should you pay attention to them? Most likely, the threats found by the scanner are harmless system or software components, which is why we recommend deleting Smart PC Mechanic. The last thing you should do is click “Start Repair” because that will route you to a purchase page offering the useless tool for 33.95 Euro. The purchase page also offers to download McAfee Internet Security along with the PUP, which is surprising, considering that the PUP itself is supposed to offer you everything you need. If you try to close the scanner window, you are shown the “Activate Now & Fix all Issues within seconds” notification, but you should not pay attention to that either. In fact, the only thing you should focus on is the removal of the PUP.

You can uninstall Smart PC Mechanic, or you can manually delete the components it has created using the instructions below. As you can see, the manual removal of this potentially unwanted program is not complicated. That being said, if other unwanted programs exist, you really should consider employing anti-malware software that would simultaneously erase every unreliable pieces of junk from your PC. Even better, this software will continue protecting you against unreliable and malicious programs in the future. Are you still not convinced that you should delete Smart PC Mechanic? Well, consider that its scanner does not present realistic results and that its services are not free. The last thing you want to do is invest in software that does not work or does not serve well.
