Remove PC Speed Maximizer

PC Speed Maximizer is nothing but a fraud, a fake optimization software that tries to convince you it will be able to make your computer go faster. Usually installed counting on you not noticing it, it will show non-stop messages telling you your computer is at a critic state. All false!

PC Speed Maximizer is nothing close to a real optimization software that we would recommend, like CCleaner for example. This program is usually offered in freeware setup programs. For example telecharger.com (01net/cnet) won’t hesitate in offering you this program along with CCleaner.
