What is Desktop Improver?

The creators of Desktop Improver want you to believe that the drivers on your operating system are outdated and can lead to internal failures, crashes, and system conflicts, whatever that means. According to our research, this unreliable, potentially unwanted program is highly likely to be bundled with third-party programs, and this can turn out to be a big problem. What if this PUP came bundled with ransomware Trojans or malicious keyloggers? The PUP itself is troublesome enough, and you do not need other malicious infections corrupting your operating system and jeopardizing your virtual security. Even if the programs installed along with this app are not incredibly malicious, you need to be careful with them. If you read our report, you will know how to remove Desktop Improver and all other unreliable programs that might be active on your operating system. test test test

How does Desktop Improver work?

It appears that Desktop Improver belongs to J.O.H.N Joint Operation High Network, a truly suspicious, unfamiliar company. The publisher, on the other hand, is well-known to our Anti-Spyware-101.com malware researchers because it is responsible for GamesDesktop, MyBestOffersToday, OneSoftPerDay, and similar unreliable ad-supported programs. It is possible that this adware will come packaged with the suspicious PUP, and, as mentioned previously, more malicious threats could travel along with it as well. You can employ a malware scanner to figure out which unreliable programs might have entered your Windows operating system. It is less likely that you will encounter third-party software if you download the PUP directly from desktop-improver.com. Of course, we do not recommend installing it at all. The reason for this is quite simple: Desktop Improver is a useless system optimizer!

Once installed, Desktop Improver scans the operating system and supposedly detects outdated drivers that allegedly require updating. If you fall for the scam, you will be routed to a page asking to register for the services of the PUP. Once you enter your email address, your name, and your zip code, you will be routed to a different page asking to pay $29.95! Even if you refuse to pay the money – which is what we recommend – you will have shared personal contact information. If this information got into the wrong hands, you could be scammed! All in all, the services of Desktop Improver are useless, and we can assure you that its services are not worth the money that is asked from you.

How to delete Desktop Improver

Desktop Improver is not a trustworthy tool for various reasons. First of all, according to our researchers, this program is not as beneficial as it claims to be. Second, it uses tracking cookies to spy on you. Third, it is likely to enable third parties to showcase advertisements. Due to this, we strongly recommend deleting Desktop Improver from your Windows operating system. If this PUP is the only unreliable piece of software on your PC, you will get away with manual removal. However, if malicious threats are active as well, it is worth installing legitimate antimalware tool. Our final advice is to ensure full-time Windows protection after you clean your system; otherwise, it could get infected soon enough.
