HDD Tools Removal Guide
HDD Tools is a fake optimization tool used to cheat the money from the unlucky user who accidentally install HDD Tools on the computer. HDD Tools will run automatically when Windows boot. Then HDD Tools will do a fake optimization on the hard drive, memory and the system of the computer. HDD Tools will surely display pop ups to scare the user that there are a lot of errors found in the hard drive, memory and the system. HDD Tools may state that the hard drive is unreadable (if it is really unreadable, how can HDD Tools run on the computer?). HDD Tools will urge the user to purchase the full version of HDD Tools so that to remove all detected errors. In fact, HDD Tools cannot detect and remove any errors in hard drive, memory and the system.

HDD Tools can be removed by stopping the processes and kill the files with random name found in the hard drive (it often found in %temp% folder). Then the registry entries should be removed as it has been added by HDD Tools so that it can run automatically when Windows boot. All of these can be done by following the removal guide below.
