Windows Optimization Center
Windows Optimization Center Description
Windows Optimization Center is a rogue computer security program which uses clever actions to entice unwary computer users to purchase of a full version of Windows Optimization Center. Windows Optimization Center is nothing more than another fake optimization tool currently circulating over the internet. The rogue program is somewhat similar to other fake optimization programs such as Disk Repair. Windows Optimization Center is created and marketed by cybercrooks with the intent of extorting money from computer users who succumb to Windows Optimization Center’s clever antics.
The big catch is that Windows Optimization Center is not able to fix those issues even if you were to purchase the full version of the corrupt program. Windows Optimization Center should be avoided at all costs and it is suggested that you use a spyware removal tool to delete this rogue at once. The longer that Windows Optimization Center is installed on your computer, the higher the risk of damaging the compromised computer.

Just like Lloyd says they have renamed their process so that none of the malware anti-malware programs can find them to delelte them. Also they do not allow any programs to run for mor more than a few seconds berfore being stopped by Windows Optimization Center. I can\’t figure out how they can make money because you pay them with a credit card and after they remove Windows Optimization Center you can stop Visa from charging your card with a protest. Anyone have any good ideas to get rid of this problem. I had Microsoft essentials running on my computer at the time it was infected and it couldn\’t stop it.
New, more malevalant verion out there. This one stops the computer’s bootup process so most people would not be able to use their computers at all until they paid for the “full license”. Windows explorer is not run so there is no normal desktop. The files have been renamed and/or hidden in some way so that most malware and spyware removal tools can not spot them. I also have looked a MSCONFIG to see why the Windows Optimization Center is always executed upon startup. Don’t see anything unusual in any of the ini or startup programs.
