Safety Center

Posted: August 27, 2009

ScreenshotSafety Center is a variant of the fake spyware removers Secret Service and Privacy Center. It masquerades as a useful program, but is nothing of the sort, only seeking to gain your trust. Typically Safety Center states that your computer is infected or has various problems, and then prompts you to purchase the full version in order to combat these imaginary issues.
