Windows Optimization & Security

<p>Windows Optimization &amp; Security is the clone of “Windows System   Optimizator” and “Windows Optimization &amp; Security” which represents   itself as a system optimization utility. However in reality just like   the other two versions, Windows Optimization &amp; Security is also a   rouge software which will try to deceive you by giving false system   alerts.</p>
<p>Once installed in your system, Windows Optimization &amp;   Security will initiate a false system scan and will display various   system errors which it will identify as “threats” for your machine. In   addition to this, the software will block you from using the Windows   utilities and web browsers and will claim that these applications have   got infected. The program will also claim that in order to fix all these   errors, you need to get the complete version of Windows Optimization   &amp; Security which of course is not going to be free of cost. You will   have to buy it.</p>
<p>However, the reality is that all the errors that   Windows Optimization &amp; Security has identified in your machine are   nothing but fake. They are designed only to make you think that your   computer is at risk so that you purchase the complete version of this   software to remove those threats. So don’t give any attention to the   notifications that Windows Optimization &amp; Security displays and   don’t buy this package.</p>
<p>When Windows Optimization &amp; Security infects a system, it usually comes up with notifications like these:</p>
<p><strong>System Security Warning</strong><br>
<strong>Attempt to modify register key entries is detected. Register entries analysis is recommended.</strong></p>
<p><strong>System component corrupted!</strong><br>
<strong>System reboot error has occurred due to lsass.exe system process failure.</strong><br>
<strong>This may be caused by severe malware infections.</strong><br>
<strong>Automatic restore of lsass.exe backup copy completed.</strong><br>
<strong>The correct system performance can not be resumed without eliminating the cause of lsass.exe corruption.</strong><br>
<strong>Warning!</strong></p>
