Hello guys. Recently I found Auto Mechanic 2018 on my computer. It popped up out of nowhere and started performing a system scan. Out of a sudden, I was presented with a variety of issues and every threat was red. Is my computer really  that damaged? I didn't have any problems with it, as everything runs smooth. I am starting to believe that it is a scam. Is it correct? If yes, please help me to uninstall it completely.

Auto Mechanic 2018 belongs to the potentially unwanted program[ref en-1] category and is created by the same developer that continually keeps rebranding suspicious software and re-releasing it under a different name. All these programs work identically and bring no benefit to a regular user. Nevertheless, developers of this dubious software are quick to promise a full eradication of malicious threats and other improvements to the computer. In reality, this application is nothing but a scam that tries to extort money out of innocent users.

Programs like Auto Mechanic 2018 usually enter users' machines without their consent - hence the "potentially unwanted program" name. Developers rely on software bundling[ref en-2] to populate their products to as many devices as possible. This technique, although not very fair, is legal and often abused. This is due to users picking Recommended or Quick modes during freeware installation. Fun fact: approximately 68% of users accept Terms and conditions without looking through them.[ref en-3]

The official website is filled with fake reviews and recommendations from a well-known media website CNET and similar, although there is no proof that any of these companies ever rated auto Mechanic 2018. Most likely, it is a lie as well. 

Our security team conducted an experiment and installed the PUP intentionally. Before we even installed the program, we were prompted to install Driver Updater.[ref en-4]

At his point, we merely unchecked the pre-selected box and proceeded with the installation. We were soon greeted with a scan (which was initiated without our permission) and turned out that our machine is "extremely compromised" as well. Auto Mechanic 2018 found 330 items that allegedly harm our PC.

Nevertheless, we noticed that all of these "problems" are simple registry entries or Google cookies. Absolutely untrue and bogus. The truth is, system optimizers might damage a perfectly working machine by deleting incorrect registry entries. To fix these "issues" we were prompted to buy a licensed version of the program. Our team decided to remove the application immediately. We suggest you do the same - follow the guide below.
