What is Advanced PC Care?

Advanced PC Care by Advancedpccare.com is self-promoted as “a state of the art technology. It was coded by industry experts with a combined industry experience of 32 years. Designed and tested with utmost care to keep your PCs running smooth fast and error free.”

Advanced PC Care is not a computer virus but it is a very misleading and questionable program that utilizes very aggressive marketing tactics to get internet users to download and install it, as well as purchase the full edition of Advanced PC Care (or Advanced PC Care Pro) once the program has been introduced to a computer.

Once installed the program will begin to perform a scan for Malware and PUPs, as well as other threats, system performance issues, system and user software issues, and setup/uninstall and other user issues.

The Advanced PC Care scan will always result in a VERY HIGH amount of issues found. A detailed analysis of the issues found by Advanced PC Care have concluded that the program will detect images on your computer as being a threat or issue. Images will be included as the total amount of issues found on your computer.

Once a scan has been completed, if you click the Start Repair button you will be directed to a webpage to purchase the full program for $39.99 a year. If you attempt to close the browser window you will be presented with a pop-up advertisement offer to buy the program for cheaper that first stated and browser notification that asks if you want to leave the page.

Third-party software bundlers and download managers might package Advanced PC Care alongside potentially unwanted programs, adware, and malware. This means that if you find Advanced PC Care on your computer without your consent it is likely that other objects have been contracted and should be removed to protect your privacy.

• Advanced PC Care scans may be misleading. The program uses things like your images to boost the amount of alleged issues it finds on your computer in order to frighten you into feeling it is necessary to purchase the full version.
• Advanced PC Care does not fix issues it finds on your computer for free. This program is purely a scanner.

• Advanced PC Care is difficult and confusing to close.

• Once Advanced PC Care is closed it will still remain enabled in the background which uses up system resources. The easiest way to exit Advanced PC Care is to right click the icon on your taskbar / traybar menu and click Exit.
