In short, I don't recommend Bluestacks to anyone, and there are much better emulators out there.Gamers can enjoy the Android gaming experience on their PC and App developers can actually test the android based application software on their Windows or Mac system, thanks to software like Bluestacks Android emulator which runs Android apps and games on your Windows PC. I had to get rid of everything Bluestacks-related myself using CCleaner until my system was running as usual again. But when I ran the uninstaller, it didn't get rid of much - the HD-Agent process remained, along with other bits and pieces, and my computer was still sluggish. Eventually I had enough and decided to uninstall Bluestacks. I also found that the software drastically slowed my system performance down, even when not in use (e.g. I have tried searching online for what HD-Agent actually is, but I got no answers.

The only way to disable it is to end the process manually in Task Manager. Another problem I had was whenever I closed the player, a program called HD-Agent.exe runs in the background, and also at startup.

It is not specified anywhere on the site that it'd do this. Later on, as I was using it, it started pestering me to pay $2 a month, otherwise it'd install random unwanted apps. However, unlike other Android emulators, it doesn't give the user a full, authentic Android environment, but a custom interface, making this player suited more for gamers than general Android users. When I installed Bluestacks onto my system, it was a little laggy, but not too bad. I must admit, Bluestacks looked a very promising, trustworthy Android app emulator, but my experience with the player when I had it a while ago was mainly negative. Questionable background processes, slows system, a PAIN to uninstall
