WinRepair Pro

WinRepair Pro is another PC optimization tool that is often classified as a potentially unwanted application (PUP). Even though WinRepair Pro claims on its official website that it will find all PC’s errors, remove viruses and malware, and increase the speed of the computer, we have still managed to find a few suspicious facts about it. We will enlist them further in this article and we are also going to share the removal instructions prepared by the specialists working at pcthreat.com with you. We do not say that you cannot keep WinRepair Pro installed; however, you should still know that WinRepair Pro cannot be put among those 100% legitimate PC optimization tools available on the Internet even though it is stated that it is developed by a Microsoft Partner.

Specialists say that WinRepair Pro is very similar to other existing PC optimization tools that fall into the category of potentially unwanted programs. These are ProPCClean and Optimizer Pro. Yes, they share some similarities, but you can be sure that you have encountered WinRepair Pro if you see its name in the corner of the application that opens for you from time to time. In addition, there is no doubt that WinRepair Pro is installed if you can find its main directory, which is called WinRepair Pro, in C:\Program Files (x86) (or C:\Program Files). The presence of the following files also indicates that you have WinRepair Pro on your system: WinRepairPro.exe, WRPUns.exe, RegList.wrp, and others. After you eliminate WinRepair Pro from your system completely, the main directory of WinRepair Pro and all of its files will disappear. In addition, you will not see these registry keys it adds to the registry anymore:

  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstal\WinRepairPro
  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstal\WinRepairPro
  • [HKCU/HKLM]SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\win\repair
  • [HKCU/HKLM]SOFTWARE\win\repair\pro
  • [HKCU/HKLM] SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\WinRepair Pro
  • [HKCU/HKLM] Software\WinRepair Pro
  • [HKCU/HKLM]SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\WinRepair Pro_UPDATES
  • [HKCU/HKLM] SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\WinRepair Pro_DEFAULT
  • [HKCU/HKLM] SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\WinRepair Pro

Research carried out by the specialists at pcthreat.com has shown that WinRepair Pro is a product of IMALI – N.I.MEDIA TD. This company is located in Tel Aviv, Israel, and it is very prevalent in such countries as Belgium, Indonesia, and Romania. Of course, WinRepair Pro might become really prevalent in other countries too. If WinRepair Pro ever enters your system without your consent, you will still notice that immediately because it scans the system the moment it enters it. It has been observed that it will scan your PC against system-related errors, com and ActiveX errors, user-related errors, and, finally, startup and uninstall errors. The application should also detect and remove malware and thus make your PC work smoother. We cannot say that it does not do anything; however, we are sure that it will ask you to buy the license. It has been observed that WinRepair Pro will fix only 15 system errors for free, and then you will have to upgrade it. The price of the license for one year might reach more than 100 Euro. It is rather expensive, and you could get a much more reliable PC optimization tool for the same price; however, it is up to you whether to upgrade it or not. In case you decide not to do that, we suggest that you remove WinRepair Pro as soon as possible because it will use your PC’s resources day after day. In addition, it is capable of starting together with Windows, so there is a huge possibility that it will perform activities behind your back too.

Even though users download and install WinRepair Pro mainly themselves, it has been observed that this potentially unwanted application might be distributed in a different way too. In fact, researchers say that WinRepair Pro uses very aggressive marketing techniques, and it is often spread as a part of untrustworthy software installers. It has been noticed that WinRepair Pro might come together or download Internet Quick Access and search.realcoolmovie.com on your system, so you might really notice changes after you install WinRepair Pro. Unfortunately, the aforementioned software is not trustworthy too, so you should get rid of it no matter you decide to keep or delete WinRepair Pro. No, it is not easy to say which applications are trustworthy and which are not, so we suggest installing a security tool on the system.

It is possible to remove WinRepair Pro via Control Panel. Specialists say that it will not leave any of its files on the system, which means that it can be erased fully. During the removal process you might be offered to call (844) 944 0914 for further assistance; however, we do not recommend doing that because you might dial the premium-rate number. Do not forget that you need to click the “No, I want full uninstall” button in order to erase WinRepair Pro fully from your system. In case you do not want to do that yourself, scan your system with an automatic malware remover, e.g. SpyHunter. It will erase all the existing infections (e.g. WinRepair Pro plus additional undesirable programs) from your system. In addition, it will protect your computer from future threats that might be much more harmful than WinRepair Pro.
