Often, many computer system users come across an application called Super Optimizer. What kind of program it is and why it is needed will now be considered. In addition, we pay attention to the feedback of users on the Web who used it in their work. At the same time, we will try to give some practical advice on the topic "Super Optimizer: how to remove the package entirely." But first, let's look at a few basic aspects related to the functioning of the application and its main features.
Super Optimizer: what is this program?
So, judging by what the developer of this package says, the utility is positioned as the most powerful tool for optimizing computer systems. It is also alleged that it refers to what is commonly called “useful computer programs”, and any self-respecting user should have it at their disposal in order to timely accelerate the system by fixing many errors found in Windows.
However, as practice shows, this application with all the accompanying components is very, very far from perfect. User reviews look even more categorical. The fact is that even if, for example, there is a free Super Optimizer key for official activation (registration), there are several types of main problems in the software package itself. First of all, this is the very functioning of the program, as well as the problems that subsequently arise with its removal. But first things first.
Initial Installation Issues
Let's consider two types when Super Optimizer can be installed. What kind of program it is and how it penetrates the computer, we now find out.
The first case is the simplest: the user, as they say, “seduced” to advertise a product and downloaded the distribution kit for further installation. In the second case, the application can be installed in the background when installing other programs such as Download-managers, PDF-generators or when visiting some sites on the World Wide Web. According to user reviews, many of them do not even suspect this. But that is not all. If the installation is performed by the user himself, you should never choose a quick or recommended installation, since then you won’t get any problems from the accompanying garbage that will be installed with the package.
Problems in the operation and activation of the application
The users themselves at all levels of training, as well as specialists who have specially tested the program, are especially indignant at the work process itself. It would be nice if the application was installed and then worked on demand, when it is needed, in the worst case, in the background like Live Optimize, without loading system resources. So no, the main module of the program, which is allegedly a scanner and a registry optimizer, starts during the Windows boot process and starts mercilessly searching for incorrect or outdated registry keys and entries that supposedly slow down Windows.
As the same statements of experts testify, it is not necessary to deceive. In most cases, the list returned after scanning contains only a small part of everything that slows down Windows. In fact, the presented records practically do not affect the system’s performance.
But with enviable constancy after a certain time, activation of Super Optimizer and updating the package to the Pro version begin to be required. Here's the second catch: the standard package can only find registry keys, and it is the Pro version that can delete them. As already clear, for the normal operation of Super Optimizer, the license key is provided initially. It turns out that the developer himself is deceiving users by providing them with an absolutely inoperative version. Even many commercial utilities come in many cases in a shareware version.
With all this, some users manage to use a license key for Super Optimizer , found on the Internet. However, hereafter many problems arise. At first, the program can work, but then it starts to “spit”, requiring the introduction of a new key. And, most sadly, in many cases, the Super Optimizer application can become a redirect (redirect) tool to sites associated with this software product, as well as a reason for changing the browser home page. Ultimately, the package itself does not accelerate, but slows down the entire system.
Super Optimizer: how to remove? General issues
This is where users begin to realize that when they bought the same license, they simply wasted money. They did not get any noticeable Windows acceleration effects. Moreover, the system began to “hang” for no apparent reason. Begin the search for a solution on how to remove this utility. But it turns out to be a very difficult matter.
The problem here is that you can still remove a few minor components, but the Super Optimizer code registered in the registry and in the system files changed by the program , alas, remains, and the application is activated again. Moreover, if there is an active Internet connection, remote modules can even be restored. What to do with Super Optimizer? What kind of program is it, after all, that it is impossible to delete it?
Standard deletion
So, for starters, you can try the standard method of removal when you have not yet used the license.
It is necessary to use the section of programs and components in the “Control Panel” (in the case of Windows XP - the menu for adding and removing programs) and delete the program itself, as well as related components. To better navigate the menu, installed programs are best sorted by installation date. Then it will become clear when and which component was installed. But, as mentioned above, this does not always help.
Feasibility of Using Utilities Against Adware and Malware
Judging by the feedback of some users, they prefer to use scanner programs that detect the presence of unwanted or malicious software in the system called Adware, Spyware and Malware. Indeed, very often the Super Optimizer package is classified in this way.
But it comes to the point that users are again "led" to advertisements and install the "best" program called SpyHunter. Here, as they say, a double-edged sword. Perhaps the Super Optimizer will be uninstalled (which, however, is unlikely), but in the end there will also be a scanner utility (SpyHunter), which, frankly, will be even more difficult to remove. So think about whether to use such methods.
Uninstalling in safe mode
It’s better to approach the issue of removal in a slightly different way and not be too lazy to perform several simple steps that will help get rid of the annoying utility.
First, in the "Task Manager", you should complete all the processes associated with the Super Optimizer program, and then reboot the system in safe mode (F8 at startup).
Now you can start by removing the application and its components in the standard way through the "Control Panel", and then go to the registry editor (regedit command of the "Run" menu), where to use the search with the query string "Super Optimizer" (without quotes). When the results appear on the screen, absolutely all keys and entries related to this program should be deleted.
Now you should call the "Explorer" and in the Program Files directory delete the Super Optimizer folder (preferably from the "Recycle Bin" too). Now you can reboot the system and look at the result.
Removal using professional utilities
If all of the above does not help, professional reviews give one more practical advice: you can use special uninstall utilities. One of the most powerful is iObit Uninstaller.
It is noteworthy in that when uninstalling any software component, you can use the Force Uninstall main mode with the inclusion of the additional Batch Uninstall mode. The salt lies in the fact that removal is first performed using a standard uninstaller, after which an in-depth search is performed for residual elements (registry keys, files and folders, etc.). In the results, you just need to tick off all found elements and delete them. As already clear, the system will be completely cleaned, and after that even a reboot will not be required.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it remains to add that useful programs for the computer, in particular optimizers, are of course necessary, because the system is subject to the appearance of the most unpredictable errors. Unfortunately, the Super Optimizer application does not fall under this definition. Not surprisingly, it is often classified as unwanted software. So it’s better not to install it. However, if this happened, you immediately need to get rid of it and not use the Malware search utilities for this, and then many problems will appear with them, and much more serious ones. As mentioned above, getting rid of them in most cases will be much more difficult than coping with Super Optimizer.
