TriocySpeedup is a potentially unwanted program that uses intentional false positives to convince you to purchase the premium version of this program.
What is TriocySpeedup
TriocySpeedup is a potentially unwanted program that describes itself as a pc optimization program that can help your computer run better. When scanning your computer, TriocySpeedup will search for invalid system entries, invalid startup entries, invalid DLLs, or broken links. However, if you try to fix these issues, TriocySpeedup will state that you need to buy the full version before being able to do so.
How did TriocySpeedup get on my computer?
TriocySpeedup is installed by the users, whether that is knowingly or not. Often, this type of program is offered through advertisements or bundled with other software, leaving the user puzzled about where this software came from.
Unfortunately, some free downloads do not adequately disclose that other software will also be installed and you may find that you have installed TriocySpeedup without your knowledge.
You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs. Be very careful what you agree to install.
Always opt for the custom installation and deselect anything that is not familiar, especially optional software that you never wanted to download and install in the first place. It goes without saying that you should not install software that you don’t trust.
