    This software usually presents to the user as a false security alert stating that his computer files containing hazardous or critical security issues (most often warning generated randomly and not after a disk scan disk) and inviting them to download DriveCleaner. Do not respond to the warnings because they are simply misleading advertising content, which aims to raise concern among Internet users to encourage them to install a free version of DriveCleaner (known installdrivecleanerstart_fr. exe) and then to buy a paid version of this pseudo security software. You can try malwarebytes anti-malware, for its removal.
