Deceiving domain - advancedsystemrepair.com
Advancedsystemrepair.com is the website that promotes a system optimizing tool that should be capable of maintaining the better performance of the machine, cleaning junk files, disabling energy-draining applications, and fixing disk issues. Unfortunately, those claims and especially functions about malware detection and privacy issues are not truthful.
The promotional website claims that all the features and states that cleaning junk files and clutter can improve the longevity of your device or even fix all the other issues. All the attractive features and free version of the software tricks people into installing the rogue tool themselves, but this PUP also comes as an additional part of other freeware packages and directly installed from shady sources by triggering the download on a pop-up ad.
Advancedsystemrepair.com is designed to look professional and show all the receipts from scans that indicate files, drivers, applications, and malware as crucial issues. However, those results come pre-determined and not related to the system at all. Once the alleged scan results show up, to fix those problems, the user is encouraged to purchase a licensed version that costs $29.95 but also does nothing that could improve the performance of your PC.
