Maxperforma Optimizer Removal Guide

MaxPerforma Optimizer is a potentially unwanted program that cannot be considered a computer infection, but users are advised to steer away from this application, due to the fact that it is related to a number of other potentially unwanted browser extensions and programs. The thing is that even if you download MaxPerforma Optimizer from its official website, there is still a chance that the program will come bundled with some additional software that may expose you to potential system threats. Therefore, it is for the best to avoid installing MaxPerforma Optimizer onto your computer altogether.

It says that it can help you deal with such issues as invalid registry entries, missing file references, dead keys or values, computer startup issues, crashes freezes and even blue screens.

However, if you browse the website for MaxPerforma Optimizer a little bit more closely, you will soon notice the purchase page for the application, where you can purchase the full version of the program for approximately $30. You can pay either via your credit card or PayPal, and actually MaxPerforma Optimizer does not seem to be like a rogue program that would intend to rip you off. Nevertheless, we highly recommend that you remove MaxPerforma Optimizer from your computer, as even if you download the program from its official website, it comes bundled with SafeSearch browser extension.
