Comments
The MPC Cleaner(your product) mystereously appeared on my pc. It brought with it 3 Trojan viruses, 38 corrupted programs, and malware beyond the imagination. After numerous programs, fixes,you name it I tried all I knew. The MPC Core Protection Service is still around. It has corrupted my whole system (files,programs,documents,downloads,etc.) I have lost things I will never be able to replace. I have read all reviews,opinions,etc. Your company is aware of how susceptable your program is to viruses and little creepy things that can affect your life.But no remedy. I would like you to send an uninstall program to get this dangerous program off my computor. Thank you for your time and assistance
