Now, we all have chance to see what OneBit IT's PerforMax Cleaner looks like now: it can typically be installed via wild customized installer like ConnectClient'stb_Hotspot_Shield.exe (Note: it cannot be downloaded as a standalone installation package like other common apps; it just can be located at its "Registration" page like"pi&subid=a9406aa2-1078-4cdd-a0f9-8a5fd1ab6dec&app=4", plus, its official download uses JavaScript. See the following codes:

function download() {var url = "https://******.amazonaws.com/performax/installer/Setup.exe

";var downloadWindow = window.open(url, "downloadWindow"); /* the "Download" */document.location.href = "../performaxcleaner/ThankYou?" + querySt('ref'); /* the "Redirect" */}

Read on and get more secrets...

Depending on my years' experiences of dealing with Internet PUPs ("Potentially Unwanted Programs"), I trusted my first instinct and I am incorrect: the mentioned PerforMaxCleaner by UA\rralfelt (according to this VT file) is just the variant of Speed Cleaner:

1. Unfortunately, our upload is safe, now. Review related specs via the outlined VT documentation above.2. As what I've mentioned, such sneaky annoyance usually comes with downware: the aforementioned tb_Hotspot_Shield.exe file recommended the potentially malicious fakealertas so-called "SecondOffer2": according to Reason Company Software Inc's info, this program was detected as "TROJ_FAKEAV.BMC". The above item clearly tells us that this Cleaneris Trojware or FakeAV (aka, fake antivirus, rogueware, ransomware and the likes.); once the installation is complete, the original installer will be deleted automatically! Forexample is this one, "C:\Users\TEST\AppData\Local\Temp\nsb7511.tmp\SecondOffer2".

If you too are not happy with PerforMax Cleaner... well, let's call a spade a spade: follow me and get the job done: permanently uninstall PerforMax Cleaner, wipe other junk youaccidentally installed, for security.

Guess what? Windows' own uninstall utility also makes it impossible to delete PerforMax Cleaner from its programs list (NOTE: I will check it out again, later.): the wild "PM" didnot write its into my program settings. Meantime, you need to clean the possibly unused .NET Framework 4 so you can fully get rid of PerforMax Cleaner.
