Windows Performance Center Removal

Windows Performance Center is a rogue spyware program which is related to the dangerous malicious program Vista Antispyware 2010. Windows Performance Center tries to trick users into purchasing its license. It enters a user’s computer via Trojans or other malicious software that downloads and installs Windows Performance Center. Once installed, this rogue software loads at startup thanks to some fake registry entries. Then it will endlessly perform fake system scans and return results that show that the computer is under threat from malicious software. This rogue software then proceeds to insist that the user should buy a license to the ‘full’ version of Windows Performance Center, claiming that the currently installed ‘trial’ version is inadequate to clean the system of the falsely generated ‘threats’. Whenever the program is run, it will enforce this request through its GUI and through various pop-ups. At all times, Windows Performance Center emulates the legitimate Windows Security Center, adding to the illusion that this is a real program. However, the so-called ‘full’ version has no capability whatsoever to scan or clean your computer, and you should never fall for this trick and buy the software.
