Not all cleanup and optimiser utilities will be classed as malware and Microsoft is specifically targeting those that deliberately display messages that are designed to scare you into buying full priced software you don’t really need. “In the future, programs that display coercive messaging will be classified as unwanted software, detected, and removed.” “There has been an increase in free versions of programs that purport to scan computers for various errors, and then use alarming, coercive messages to scare customers into buying a premium version of the same program.” Here’s what Microsoft said in a recent blog post: Now some of them, the worst example, are to be classified as unwanted software and they will be removed from the computer. In fact, the company would prefer you left Windows alone and not used these tools. The company has never recommended Windows cleanup utilities and never said you should use registry optimisers, cleaners and repair tools.
