Do you know what Picexa is?
We have researched Picexa and have discovered that this is a potentially unwanted program. Even though this program is meant to help you view photos, in some cases, it can download malware onto your operating system, which is why you should delete Picexa from your PC without further delay. Unfortunately, the Trojan downloaded, and the infections that could be dropped onto your computer by them can run silently. Due to this, you have to examine your operating system carefully even if you manage to remove the PUP successfully. If you don’t remove malicious threats, you might suffer identity theft, and your computer might start running disorderly.

If you download Picexa from picexa.com, it is unlikely that you will download third-party software alongside. However, if you trust software bundles, you might find that you need to remove other potentially unwanted programs (e.g., BoBrowser and PC Optimizer Pro) and adware developed by SuperWeb LLC (e.g., Spice Nice and Shop Easy). We recommend removing Picexa-associated programs, because most of them are likely to be unreliable. Note that some of the programs could be installed silently and could run without your notice, which means that you might have no idea they require removal. Even though it shouldn’t be difficult to detect and remove Picexa developed by Taiwan Shui Mu Chih Ching Technology Limited, you might have to install a malware scanner to figure out which other infections you need to delete from your PC.
