When inside, PC Protection Center will appear to scan the computer before detecting several viruses, system errors and start-up failures. PC Protection Center will use the scan report as well as security alerts and pop-ups to scare a user into believing that his/her system is infested with malware that can only be removed with it licensed version. To scare a victim even more, PC Protection Center may also block access to Task Manager and other essential programs.
