Privacy Center description

Privacy Center is a fake security program which is installed along with bogus video codecs and the Zlob trojan. This rogue anti-malware is a clone of the other parasite software – Privacy Components and acts very much like it.

Privacy Center, as most of the malware programs, infects the system without the user being even aware of it. The software is usually downloaded along with trojan virus which imitates to be a video codec. It then starts warning about fake spyware infections and suggest downloading Privacy Center which should solve the problems that actually do not exist. When the user installs the program, Privacy Center performs a false system scan. It pretends to find more viruses and security threats. Finally it suggests buying the full version, as the current one is not meant to perform the system cleanup and to protect your computer. However, this is just the way to steal your money. Privacy Center is absolutely useless and does not detect nor remove any viruses or infections from your computer. You are strongly advised to remove Privacy Center as soon as it possible in order to keep your system secure.
