OptimizerPro

What is OptimizerPro?

This is a re-brand of the OptimizerPro software distributed by various other companies, a program that is distributed with adware bundles from 3rd-party download managers such as InstalleRex. Once installed the software will run a scan and alert the user to potentially thousands of issues, most trivial and will require payment to 'fix' such problems.

Overview

The most common release is 4.3.0.1727, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up (this is typically done to avoid any UAC prompts). The primary executable is named OptimizerPro.exe. A majority of users end up uninstalling this less than a week of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 1 files and is usually about 532.38 KB (545,155 bytes).
