Windows Sleek Performance Screenshot 1Windows Sleek Performance may be quite skillful at performing its intended functions, but the contrast between its presentation and what Windows Sleek Performance really does has led SpywareRemove.com malware researchers to label Windows Sleek Performance as another rogue anti-virus product. Although Windows Sleek Performance is noted for its ability to provide intricate system security-related pop-ups, including warnings about network-based attacks and live PC threats, SpywareRemove.com malware experts have also found that Windows Sleek Performance is equally well-known for gearing all of the above information to be false instead of providing real system diagnostics. As a PC threat that can also cause a range of security issues that include a blockade enacted against unrelated security applications, Windows Sleek Performance should always be deleted promptly and with a trustworthy brand of anti-malware scanner.

The Bumps in Windows Sleek Performance's Path to Fake PC Security

Aesthetically, Windows Sleek Performance acts like a typical anti-virus scanner, with the exception of including an unusual breadth of features, as well as being continuously in a high-alert mode that displays rapid series of fake warning messages and highly inaccurate system scans. Like other rogue anti-virus products Windows Sleek Performance can't provide real PC threat detection, deletion or protection features. However, Windows Sleek Performance will continuously display its fake information once Windows starts up (due to Windows Sleek Performance using a Registry-based exploit that SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have found to force its launch alongside Windows without your consent).

Like every other member of FakeVimes, Windows Sleek Performance's long term goal is to force you to purchase a registration key while Windows Sleek Performance supposedly offers to remove the PC threats that Windows Sleek Performance detects after purchase. However, since Windows Sleek Performance doesn't have any of the anti-virus, anti-malware or general security features that Windows Sleek Performance claims to possess, there's no reason to buy Windows Sleek Performance whatsoever. Despite this, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts note that using the freely-circulated code '0W000-000B0-00T00-E0020' to register Windows Sleek Performance may assist with deleting Windows Sleek Performance from your computer.

Windows Sleek Performance: from Protector to Danger in the Blink of an Eye

In addition to being a digital fraudster, Windows Sleek Performance can also be a direct assailant against your PC and should be deleted with anti-malware programs rapidly to avoid any long term harm.
