Remove WinClean Pro

WinClean Pro claims to enhance performance and increase startup speed of the computer by utilizing its various features. On its console, the program has a tool to deal with browser and internet items, junk and temporary files, Windows system, and installed applications.

During testing, we observed that this program could really perform scans and averagely detect troubled objects. However, on some areas, scanned errors can only be fixed by dialing their Live help at (855) 765-6711. This means, that remote technical support personnel will fix the computer for corresponding payment. Please note that during our transaction, remote staff only offers long-term plan to take care of our newly formatted and clean computer. They did not even bother to check the status of our computer first and see if services they are offering are appropriate. This gives as a suspicion that WinClean Pro is just one of the many bogus applications trying to promote remote desktop technical support and assistance services.

On our own observation, WinClean Pro functions the same way as local maintenance features of Windows. Disk checking, temporary files removal, uninstalling programs are already built-in with the operating system. Thus, WinClean Pro is unnecessary.
