This is just a quick update to a post I had originally published, just a few weeks back. This post is for people who need to know how to remove Ascentive PC SpeedScan Pro and all the garbage that comes with it.

I thought I had gotten rid of all traces of Ascentive PC SpeedScan Pro, shortly after I tested and uninstalled it. As it turns out, I was mistaken.

During my second trial of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (I’ve found myself using this on some really tough customer PC infections, lately), I found that I still had 8-10 traces of their “Rogue.AscentivePerformance” and a single reference to “Rogue.Installer”. Of course, MBAM ($24.95 for a lifetime license) removed all of them.

So, after going into “Add and Remove Programs” and uninstalling PC SpeedScan Pro, you just need to run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to remove all traces that the Ascentive software leaves behind.

For a relatively “unknown” company, with a fairly “plain jane” website, they’ve put out a pretty decent product. I’m not saying that MBAM is now “THE product to use”, I’m just saying that it’s a great addition to anyone’s PC repair toolbox.
