as our upload turned to be riskware. Check out this file analysis if you want to take a closer look at Pro PC Cleaner application. And that greyware made its installation process

8. I exit the CMD.EXE, close other windows, save and reboot. Then I run my Windows under Safe Mode, then I search and clean associated leftovers (e.g., ProPCCleaner_Popup in
C:WindowsTasks, PROPCCLEANER.EXE-080E5B8A.pf, etc) so I can thoroughly remove Pro PC Cleaner.
