PC Accelerate pops up each time I turn my computer on. 

I also have the same question. I need PC Accelerate OFF!!!!! My computer.

Did you try uninstalling the program in Safe Mode/Safe Mode with Networking?

Any new browser extensions or items in startup that need removing?

Adwcleaner should remove it: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/

And/Or

    I found the YixSpeedup in my task manager as well.  Trying to uninstall now but it’s being a bear.  Layered right in the middle of my screen and won’t move so trying to work around it and utilize my touch screen.

    Update:  I turned my laptop sideways to flip screen to tablet mode and was able to get to the small window to confirm the uninstall.  It is GONE!

    Look for Limited PC on your files  Under different name.

    I guess I would expect the persons responding to the need help questions here would know what they were talking about.  Big disappointment.  Why don't you know that PC Accelerator is a program that doesn't show up in the MW 10?   Why would the app present itself sometimes and others not so much.  Anyway...I can't find the app anywhere and don't know what proccesses it uses to shut it down.  Please, any other suggestions other then the ones posted in this discussion?

    If you're still having issue or anyone else, try checking and Uninstalling the program called 'YixSpeedup'. Yet, you must do this uninstallation in precision before Accelerate Pro shows up on Display screen becuz once program shows, it limits dialog box access to continue with uninstallation. Once uninstalled, install and run: SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes, run them separately and if asked to Restart after finding and Quarantine step, Restart. Wish you and all well in this.
