Deceiving domain - systemcarepro.net
Systemcarepro.net is a website that promotes a misleading Windows optimization tool dubbed as SystemCarePro. Upon the analysis of the website and tool itself, it has been found that the promoted optimization tool claims to be able to fix and optimize Windows registries, boost startup, prevent crashes, freezes, and more. However, in reality, the application is generating false-positives or random system files among scan results and report a supposedly low system performance status. The SystemCarePro application seeks to create a feeling of urgency to make its users purchase a full-licensed version.
The systemcarepro.net domain is not reliable. It contains promotional content of the SystemCarePro app but does not provide any legal content on the tool, including EULA, Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and others. Upon the installation, the optimizer creates a schedule to scan the system automatically without asking for users' permission, and the user is not capable of disabling the schedule via the app's interface.
