How to remove PC Health Advisor

PC Health Advisor

PC Health Advisor by ParetoLogic is a potentially malicious Windows optimizer program with a bad online reputation. DrWeb detects PC Health Advisor’s application.exe file (named ParetoLogic PC Health Advisor) that is used to install the program as Program.Unwanted.1962, Malwarebytes detects the file as PUP.Optional.ParetoLogic, and TrendMicro-HouseCall detects the file as Suspicious_GEN.F47V0326. This data is according to each vendor and is available to the public for free on Google’s virustotal.com website.

PC Health Advisor is promoted as a robust and all-in-one suite of tools that conveniently replaces the technical knowledge, multiple products and scans you would typically need to keep your PC in working order.

There are 2 versions of the program. The most sampled program is the free “evaluation version” that ParetoLogic claims is “used for diagnosing computer issues.” The program is only a scanner that remains locked to unpaid users. The program will scan a computer but it will not remove anything and all features and tools for the program will be inaccessible.

The program has 3 different subscription packages for 2 years, 1 year, and 6 months. The costs range from $24.97 USD per month to $49.97 USD per 2 years. You can also select to subscribe to the program for 1 computer, 3 computers, or 5 computers. The price will increase after each interval.

Some people who have installed PC Health Advisor find issues with the program and other programs that may have been introduced around the same time PC Health Advisor was installed. Some websites and users report that PC Health Advisor might bundle with malware, adware, spyware, and potentially unwanted programs. The program may also be advertised by questionable third-party websites and programs that associate with malware and other threats. If you did not install PC Health Advisor it is likely that other programs you do not want on your computer (including malware, adware, and spyware) are present.
