What is Super Speedup 2018?

Super Speedup 2018 is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that claims it can be used to scan Windows for malware, PUPs, and other threats for free. It also claims that it can scan for ways to enhance system performance, system/user software related issues, and startup/uninstall and user items.

Super Speedup 2018 is not free to use. Once Super Speedup 2018 has scanned your machine it will list a large amount of issues it detected, but then it will state that you need to purcahse a license to active the program in order to fix the issues found by the program.

Furthermore, many of the issues detected by Super Speedup 2018 are not things that would cause issues to a computer. For example, Super Speedup 2018 detects registry entries as medium severity that belong to Google Chrome and Microsoft Outlook. Even though the program detects them and claims they might be harmful, they will not cause problems and are not harmful.

To add to this, Microsoft does not support the use of registry cleaners and programs like this one. In a post published by Microsoft, they say that “serious issues can occur when you modify the registry incorrectly using these types of utilities.”

Another concern with Super Speedup 2018 is that it is advertised on websites that also display malicious advertisements and host malware. This means that if you found Super Speedup 2018 installed on your computer or have located an .exe file used to install the program it is highly likely that your computer has been introduced to other threats that should be eliminated before they cause other problems.

The program is sometimes advertised on websites and you can choose to download and install the program through an advertisement. If you chose to download and install Super Speedup 2018 via an advertisement it can cause the program to bunch with other unknown programs.

Super Speedup 2018 is occasionally distributed by free downloadable content including freeware, torrent files, browser attachments, and other items. The items used to distribute the program are sometimes promoted as something they are not in order to trick you into installing it. They might also use deceptive advertising by claiming to be a necessary java update, browser update, flash player update, and more even though they are not necessary.

Sometimes you have the option to install Super Speedup 2018 when you download and install freeware. Freeware download managers often offer Super Speedup 2018 as a custom install and give you a chance to accept or decline to install Super Speedup 2018 and other programs. If you do not opt out from installing the program it will begin to install in the background. The way that the custom installation is presented can also be complex and arranged to trap you into installing programs you chose not to install.
