What is GarGizer System Repair? And how does it function?
GarGizer System Repair is described by its developers as a system optimization tool supposedly designed to clean, boost and secure computer running Windows operating system. What doesn’t make sense is that on its official website it states that this “all-in-one” tool should help users remove any unwanted programs installed on their PCs when GarGizer System Repair itself is classified as one.
This unwanted program has a trial version. Once you run this tool, it will perform a variety of alleged scans on the system and generate tons of issues detected on the computer. And if you try to fix the scanned issues, you will be asked to purchase a license to the program so there really is no telling if this program is really effective in optimizing your PC. What’s more is that it does not even provide an accurate price – on its official website, GarGizer System Repair costs €23.95 but once you reach the checkout page, it will increase up to €29.95 excluding sales tax which means that the cost could reach around €36.24.
Take note that the excessive amount of delivered notifications and results about nonexistent viruses and errors on your system are merely a ploy to get you to purchase the license version of this program which is offered in a high amount despite the fact that this program is not really proven to work effectively on computers – instead, it might only slow down computers and you’ll notice that your programs will take longer to load and may even start crashing once you use this unwanted program.
How is GarGizer System Repair distributed online?
GarGizer System Repair is distributed on its official website at http://gargizer.com however, it turns out that it’s not the only distribution method that this program uses. According to researchers, GarGizer System Repair is also distributed through software bundles offered on free file sharing sites where it is added as an optional component in a software package. In other words, GarGizer System Repair could enter your computer without your permission when you install the free software package. To avoid such occurrence, make sure that every time you install freeware or shareware, you use the Custom or Advanced installation mode rather than the quick one.
