How to Remove Qbit Clean Pro

Qbit Clean Pro is a potentially unwanted application, a bogus MS Windows system security and optimization tool that uses misleading techniques to infiltrate a computer. In most cases, users may initially encounter this counterfeit program through a series of pop-ups and redirects when paying a visit to dubious web pages. The pop-up pages commonly masquerade as an

online scanner that detects numerous problems on the web user’s PC. Subsequently, it prompts you to download Qbit Clean Pro and claims that it is the best solution to clear the issues.

Unknown to users, this trial version of Qbit Clean Pro is useless. In fact, installing it on the computer brings more troubles and annoyances. When fully installed and activated, this rogue tool runs a full system scan, and like the fake online scanner, this local version of Qbit Clean Pro intends to scare users by falsely identifying an enormous amount of system faults and malware presence.

There is nothing new with these scare tactics, especially if users have encountered previous versions such as Qbit System Care, Boost My PC Pro, One Click Speedup, and many more copies of this unwanted app. The graphical user interface (GUI) alone suggests that these rogue programs share the same prototype. They all belong to the rogue software family of PCVARK. Clearly, the only difference between Qbit Clean Pro and other variants is just the title, and everything else, including how it persuades users to obtain the paid version, is consistent.
