Windows Update

Windows Update (WindowsUpdate) is a fake security application for the PC. Through vigorous tactics, Windows Update may accomplish its goal in getting a computer user to purchase a full registered version of the Windows Update program. This action is usually carried out by Windows Update's popup alert notifications that attempt to warn a computer user of detected parasites. The reality behind the popup alerts from Windows Update is that they are all fabricated.

Windows Update may take advantage of its name in an effort to make computer users trust that this program somehow is a type of "Windows Update" or solution to PC issues. The inability of Windows Update for removing parasites should be enough to raise a red flag. Purchasing Windows Update will not magically enable Windows Update to have parasite detection and removal capabilities. Instead, purchasing Windows Update would have only put your credit card credentials at risk of being stolen or used for unauthorized purchases. You have to remember, Windows Update was created by scrupulous hackers who are relentless when it comes to defeating a gullible computer user.
