Optimizing your computer takes different forms. Sometimes you do this by installing better pieces of hardware and adding cooling fans. Other times, optimization is done by making software run smoothly as possible. Defragmenting is a basic, but rather long, way to get your computer to run smoothly.
There’s a basic defragmenter bundled with all operating system, but often, you’d prefer to use a third-party program because they’re usually more effective and efficient. However, not all supposed “defragmenters” are legitimate products. Some of them are actually malware.
Win HDD is one of these pieces of rogue software that claim to optimize your hard drive. You may think that this program would need your permission to install in your system, but like many pieces of malware it’s been designed to install without your permission.
You’ll just be surprised one day to just see pop-ups coming out of nowhere warning you of critical errors in your system. These are all actually fake. The program is trying to frighten you into buying its “full” version – which is sold at an exorbitant price. If you ever see a pop-up from a program that you don’t remember installing, it’s safe to say it’s a piece of malware. The best thing to do is remove it, as quickly as possible. To find out how, read on.

Some Win HDD infections contain spyware and keyloggers which can be used to record sensitive data like passwords, credit card, bank account, and social security numbers. The longer you allow the infection to fester, the greater the chance of identity fraud.
