WinSoftware.ErrorSafe is a rogue anti-spyware program which pretends to be a system tool. WinSoftware.ErrorSafe displays annoying false reports of purported system problems, errors and parasite threats. This may trick the user into thinking that the program is not a security threat and convince the user to buy a version of WinSoftware.ErrorSafe. WinSoftware.ErrorSafe is a clone of the notorious WinFixer rogue, and should be terminated using a reliable anti-spyware program.
