Removing Reimage Repair is a simple task, since being a computer tool installed at will, its uninstallation is usually similar to that of other programs.
Although it is said that Reimage Repair is a virus, it is a tool that allows you to repair your computer's operating system and optimize its functionality.
Reimage Repair is an application that, even if you don't download it consciously, is installed on your computer through bundling. This term refers to when you install other free software without controlling their installation process.
You can often see system scans and pop-up ads with the title Reimage Repair saying that your computer is at risk or infected with a virus. This is in order for you to buy its license, since the computer is not always infected.
If you are not a user with certain knowledge, having Reimage Repair installed can be risky, since the program displays advertising that can be harmful; If you click on it, it will redirect you to sites of dubious security that could put your computer at risk.
You must bear in mind that Reimage Repair is not installed on your computer without first having granted the necessary permission. If you download it yourself, you should be especially careful because there is a possibility that you will install Babylon Toolbar or another program in the Reimage Repair installer package.

Frequent doubts
- I receive pop-up messages that my computer is at risk and the only way to give it security is to buy the Reimage Repair license, but I have not downloaded this tool. What should I do?
The tools (programs / applications) that are downloaded and installed for free will seek benefits in some way, either by introducing embedded advertising in the tool or by having you install extensions and software enhancements on your computer.
If you are not keeping an eye on the installation and download process of the applications, it is likely that you did download Reimage Repair as a packaged file. You should remove Reimage Repair as soon as you see that you have it installed.
- I receive messages that my computer has been infected, and the only way to get rid of viruses is to buy the full version of Reimage PC Repair. I don't remember downloading this tool at any time. Are these alerts legitimate or is it a scam?
It is a "legitimate PC optimizer", despite being called a virus by many because of its constant publicity and insistence on purchasing the license.
- Is it true that Microsoft endorses Reimage Repair as an antivirus and software to repair any problem on my computer?
This is completely untrue. Microsoft does not endorse products that are not developed by this company or in collaboration with its team. In fact, if you search the Microsoft community forum, experts on their team will recommend that you uninstall Reimage Repair as soon as possible, as it only degrades CPU performance.
recommendations
Here are some recommendations for you to keep your computer in optimal condition and free of programs that tend to impair the performance of your computer:

3- Look precisely at each application installation that you make on your computer, controlling every detail during the installation of any program, so that you can avoid bunding.
4- Avoid downloading from unofficial sites, so that you run less risk of opening the door to viruses on your computer.
5- Try to download applications only from the Windows store.
6- In case you need to install software from unreliable sources, verify step by step and read everything that appears on the screen.
