Is asmwsoft safe?

Question

I recently installed asmwsoft PC Optimizer Pro and Anti-malware on my Windows 11. Is it safe? How do I verify that it's not malicious to my OS?

Answer 1

I suggest you do a full scan using Microsoft Safety Scanner. Download from the link below.
Microsoft Safety Scanner Download

Also, do a full scan using Malwarebytes as a second opinion.
Download through this link: https://malwarebytes.com/
IMPORTANT: When installing, a 14-day trial will be activated. I suggest disabling this trial to avoid conflict with your current antivirus. Access the Malwarebytes settings (gear icon at the top of the window), tab "Account" and click "Disable".

After scanning, you can uninstall it.

Answer 2

Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

I suggest not using this software. It contains a feature that promises to improve performance by "optimizing" the Windows registry. The problem is that in the process, this type of software and other "PC cleaners" can remove registry entries required by the system and cause problems.

Therefore, I suggest that you uninstall this software. Also, I suggest not using any PC cleaning software.

Feel free to ask back any questions.

I have tried actions like remove and quarantine, but none is working. How do I permanently remove the malware?
