How to remove PCAcceleratePro (Virus Removal Guide)

PCAcceleratePro by Installer Technology (also searched for as PCAcceleratePro virus, PC Accelerate Pro) is a possible rogue Windows optimization program that usually obtains access to a computer system without user consent or knowledge. At the least, this program is not valuable to a computer system. PCAcceleratePro is known to automatically download and install in the background while you work. It is typically introduced by third-party software bundlers and files that remain hidden on your computer or trick you into installing the program. PCAcceleratePro is possibly destructive and can cause a lot of problems for computer users. It can also be the sign of a serious malware infection because it is known to bundle with other unwanted programs and malware.

Once PCAcceleratePro is installed it will begin to allegedly perform a scan to “optimize and clean your computer to improve performance.” The scan will always return a large amount of issues that are “slowing down your computer.” Our PCAcceleratePro review concluded that the program found 190 issues on a clean computer system.

Once the PCAcceleratePro scan is complete it will attempt to persuade users to activate a license by purchasing the full version of PCAcceleratePro. it will also try to get users to call their customer tech support line at 1-877-969-3211 (or other number).

PCAcceleratePro is known to be potentially dangerous, which is why many people identify it as the “PCAcceleratePro virus” even though it is not technically defined as a computer virus. Aside from essentially being an unnecessary and possibly malicious program, PCAcceleratePro will use up your compute resources, including memory and CPU. This can cause your computer to become slow and sluggish, or even crash.

To make matters much worse, PCAcceleratePro bundles with other unwanted programs, adware, and very severe forms of malware, including InstantSupport by the same publisher. If you have found PCAcceleratePro installed on your computer without your consent it is very likely that your computer has become infected with malicious software. Third-party threats that bundle with PCAcceleratePro can cause additional issues for computer and internet users, and will ultimately put everyone’s privacy at risk.

There are different ways that PCAcceleratePro can get onto your computer. It is often promoted by third-party freeware installers and download managers as a custom or sponsored offer. Users will be able to accept or decline the program from gaining entrance to their computers, but this isn’t always the case. PCAcceleratePro can also automatically download in the background while you work on your computer via third-party software bundlers, trojan horses, and other files.
