SystClean is an optimization software, but it’s methods are clearly those of a scareware. A scareware is a malicious software that tries to deceive users in order to force them to take their wallets out.
Why is SystClean considered a scareware?
First of all because SystClean is rarely installed by choice, it’s offered along with other malicious software in the install process of free software. The default installation of these free software will install a whole lot of other malicious software. Here’s a clear example of an install process offering SystClean. By clicking “Next” it will be installed automatically.
On the other hand, once it’s installed, SystClean will start a scan, much like the ones antivirus software does, and will find without exception a scary amount of problems. In our test computer with a brand new and clean Windows’ installation it found 430 problems. See how it find every temp file as a problem too.
The goal of SystClean is as any other scareware, to make you pay for a completely useless tool; if you try to use the green “Repair” button, it will ask you to buy the software.
Don’t let yourself be fooled, and get rid of SystClean asap!
