Fast Clean Pro is a rogue, which means it’s a fake protection software or optimization program that tells you your computer’s operating system is infected or having problems; usually, this software does a quick scan and displays its findings, 99% of which are fake. The goal is to make you buy the software.
In Fast Clean Pro’s case, we’re looking at a fake PC optimization software program on Windows that’s trying to make you think your computer’s operating system is slow and that this software program is the only one that can fix it.
Even if it has an official website (http://fastcleanpro.com), Fast Clean Pro often gets onto your PC secretly when you’re downloading free programs from certain downloading platforms—Softonic or Zdnet, for example.
If you buy this software, it will of course do a few things but nothing that you couldn’t do without its help; for example, emptying the Trash, removing temporary files from Windows and the Internet, etc. Ccleaner can do those jobs, too, and for free. If you paid for it, you can try and get your money back with a form on the Support page of the official Fast Clean Pro website.
You should know that Fast Clean Pro is considered as a malware by 3 anti-viruses.
