Security Center
Security Center is a fake security application. Security Center is a copy of the rogue applications Privacy Components and Secret Service. Security Center is usually installed via a Trojan horse such as Vundo. In the case that your system is infected with a Trojan, Security Center can be installed without any actions from you or the administrator.
Security Center is not able to detect or remove spyware, viruses or fix other security issues. Security Center, like other rogue applications, conducts systems scans only to mislead users with bogus results.
