What is SpeedMaxPC?
SpeedMaxPC is a program that can be easily mistaken for a registry cleaner and an optimization tool, however it can be without exaggeration classified as a rogue application, which means it should be dealt with correspondingly. As the promotional campaign says SpeedMaxPC is developed to grant its users all tools needed for fixing system errors and boosting the system speed. The interface of SpeedMaxPC is also thought out to look like a GUI of a legitimate program, however that’s where the resemblance comes to an end. Unfortunately, the words of SpeedMaxPC developers are empty and the program is not capable of solving any of the system problems, on the contrary, the application add headache to its user. Driven by the aim to get money from people, the creators made a program that is capable of displaying genuine looking error messages and generating fake reports about system condition. This should convince user in poor PC health and make them buy a full version of the program, if they want to fix the system. Still, we don’t believe that purchasing will help and recommend to uninstall SpeedMaxPC and to replace it with a legitimate registry cleaner.
