ClientPcSpeedup

ClientPcSpeedup is an advanced and dangerous form of malware known as a Trojan Horse. Trojan Horses like ClientPcSpeedup are well known for their use of disguise to get distributed as well as for their versatile nature and ability to execute different malicious tasks in the infected machines.

ClientPcSpeedup is a specific version of a Trojan virus which can be very challenging to deal with and remove successfully. If you are on this page, you are most probably seeking help against this infection because this nasty malware has probably sneaked inside your system. The good news is that, in the next lines, you will find more information about the characteristics of ClientPcSpeedup and the Trojans in general, as well as a detailed removal guide with manual steps and a professional removal tool for quick and effective removal of the malware. It is really important to act fast when it comes to Trojan-based infections because those threats can quickly damage your entire system without any visible symptoms.

Usually, the Trojans are known as extremely stealthy because they can infiltrate the computer without showing any visible symptoms or unusual signs which can trigger the victim’s attention. Once they nest inside the PC, they typically continue to hide deep in the OS and silently launch different malicious processes and code. This way those threats can cause numerous problems, starting from file corruption or destruction to system crashes, sluggishness, software errors and CPU and RAM exploitation. ClientPcSpeedup, in particular, can be blamed for any of these, as well as for many other harmful activities because, as an advanced representative of the Trojan family, its malicious abilities can be quite versatile. The criminals in control of such an infection can use it for anything you could think of – they can program it to spy on you, collect sensitive information such as passwords or login credentials, steal important documents and files, transfer data to remote servers, keep track of your online and offline activities and more. Oftentimes, the Trojan can be used as a backdoor for other infections, including Ransomware, Spyware or Rootkits, which can enter your computer unnoticed and without you having done anything to “invite” them in. That’s why, even if you have the slightest suspicion that an infection like ClientPcSpeedup or Chrono Speedup might have compromised your computer, we suggest you run a full system scan with a reliable antivirus program and remove anything that could be identified as a danger.

Unfortunately, the biggest challenge when dealing with Trojans is that they are very difficult to detect. As we mentioned above, those infections lack any particular symptoms and can easily trick the users who don’t have a trusted security tool in place. What is more, they mostly spread with the help of camouflage and different types of commonly used web content which may oftentimes not look suspicious or sketchy.

In most of the cases, the malware is distributed via email messages that pretend to have been sent from popular companies, institutions or friends. However, spam, torrents, different fake pop-ups, misleading links and ads may also deliver the harmful payload in your system the very moment you click on them. That’s why it is generally a good idea to be very careful with the kind of web content you interact with and stick only to reputed websites and sources of content you are sure that you can trust.

Investing in a professional security program is another good way to keep threats like ClientPcSpeedup at bay because, even if you are very careful, you never know where and how such a malware may get presented to you. If there is an infection and you need to remove it, feel free to use the instructions in the Removal Guide below or take advantage of the professional removal tool included there to quickly get rid of anything that can put your system in danger.
