Windows Efficiency Analyzer is not as efficient as its name might lead you to believe. Windows Efficiency Analyzer is a fake security program that uses the words "Windows" and "Efficiency" to take away suspicions of it being a scam. Online scams involving rogueware campaigns is the preferred method for cybercriminals to get Internet users to give up their money willingly. Windows Efficiency Analyzer is not the only known rogue anti-spyware program on the Web; some other well-known fake applications are XP Security 2011, Windows 7 Recovery, Vista Security 2011, Windows Vista Recovery, and XP Anti-Virus 2011.
One of the many avenues a naive Internet user may come across a link to download Windows Efficiency Analyzer is from bogus websites alleging to provide an online virus scanner and bundled in freeware found in file-sharing networks. Also, what increases Windows Efficiency Analyzer's level of toxicity is that it uses Trojans to survive in computers. Some Trojans have rootkit-like capabilities which allow Trojan files to hide deep in the computer system and to gain admin privileges to be able to perform all kinds of malicious functions.
Once installed, Windows Efficiency Analyzer will appear to want to help Internet users when it runs a system scan and lists all the dangerous files it alleges to have detected in a machine, but Windows Efficiency Analyzer only wants to frighten Internet users and take them straight to the purchase page to make a payment for the licensed version of the fraudulent program. What you should do is invest in a reputable anti-malware program that has an advanced and smart removal engine to remove nasty rogue anti-spyware programs like Windows Efficiency Analyzer.
