PCenter Description:

PCenter (aka P Center) is a malicious clone of the aggressive rogue anti-spyware program called Privacy Center. Just like its forerunner, PCenter trespasses on its victim’s computer through trojan viruses that explore the compromised system for weak spots and backdoors applicable for imperceptible intrusion of P Center freeware. When inside the target Operating System, PCenter tends to issue fake popup alerts and runs bogus security scanners that always report tons of infections and security issues. You should never believe the info mentioned in security alerts and scan results returned by PCenter because all of them are faked and cannot possible report any actual system hazards simply because PCenter is NOT a real legitimate antivirus program. If you let PCenter stay resident in your system, it will keep pounding you with its obsessive pop-ups. P Center also makes the infected computer slow and affects the internet connection quality. It’s strongly recommended to use a trusted security program to get rid of PCenter if infected.
