How to remove Safety Center rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
Safety Center (also known as SafetyCenter) is the newest devastating rogue anti-spyware which is a successor of the previously known scareware program called Privacy Center. Safety Center has been released and is marketed as a computer protection suite containing such essential elements as Spyware Scanner, Registry Cleaner, Memory Manager and some others, which testifies to the fact that the program is a blend of a rogueware and a fake optimization tool. You should beware of Safety Center because it can perform none of the promised options. Moreover, Safety Center can potentially do a lot of harm to the targeted host system by disabling the PC defense function, making it vulnerable to outer infections and compromising the user’s privacy by promoting spyware, keyloggers and tons of other threats on board. Typically, the intrusion of Safety Center takes place without any user authorization because the malware exploits system protection flaws and the security backdoors to bypass the authentication. Once on board, Safety Center fills the challenged system with its deceptive popup ads that claim to report insecure activity on one’s computer. Besides the above-mentioned ads, Safety Center tends to run bogus security scanners which also report dozens of made-up infections to be removed. Please, do NOT believe Safety Center ads and scan results – the rogue is only after the money you are expected to pay for its license. In the meanwhile, you are strongly recommended to remove Safety Center rogue before it’s too late rescuing your contaminated system from the rogueware’s impact.
