C-Center
C-Center is a rogue anti-spyware program and newer version of the fake security application known as Control Center or CCenter. Just like the older versions, C-Center uses similar methods to pursued computer users into purchasing a licensed version of C-Center. Many of these methods include displaying ridiculous popup messages and returning several false system scan results.
Through the use of a Trojan C-Center can be automatically installed without permission from the computer user. C-Center, after installed, can also modify Windows registry entries causing the computer to act abnormally. To prevent damages from occurring as a result of the installation of C-Center, it is suggested that C-Center be removed immediately.
