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 have the same problem with this app since Sept 19. Except that I dont find it on my control panel. The only app that entered on Sept 19 is Volatile Speedup that I did not authorize either . Are they related? Many thanks

    I got advice from my wife on this popup. She went to the task bar line, right clicked it on task manager . Then, it was easy to select the application and delete it, though the icon for it is still there, it doesn't pop up anymore.

    Hope this works for others.

    Look for Limited PC on your files  Under different name.

    I had this same problem. Even with my virus blocker, it still kept popping up.

    I tried everything I could think of to get rid of it, but PC Accelerate still kept popping up, even though my laptop couldn't find the file. 

    Today, I finally got rid of it! Here's what I did.

    When it pops up, RIGHT CLICK on the icon on the taskbar. 

    Click on the PROPERTIES.

    If your computer is like mine, PC Accelerate has been hiding under a pseudonym. 

    For me, it was listed under "SilverSpeedUp"

    Open FILE EXPLORER

    Search "SILVER SPEED UP"

    When it pops up, remove the program.

    Finally.
