PCoptimizer 2010 Image
PCoptimizer 2010 is a fake optimization program created by fraudsters to steal naive computer users' money and personal information. PCoptimizer 2010's tactic is to use alarming fake system messages that pretend to have detected system errors and then demand money to make the errors go away. PCoptimizer2010 also blocks certain legitimate programs, which are already installed on your PC, from running. When you try to open a desired program on your computer, PCoptimizer 2010 pops up a message stating that the program is attempting to perform a malicious activity. The fake security messages give you the option to "Deny" or "Enable Protection" but either option will take you back to PCoptimizer 2010's interface where computer users are lured to purchase the program to stop the agony of having a disfunctional computer. Do not let PCoptimizer get the best of you and it's advised to use a reliable malware/rogue software remover to remove PCoptimizer 2010 from your PC.
