PC Performer is a false registry optimization program, and this is the latest rogue we face. A rogue hence means a fake security ware in the world of informatics. It can exist in several forms: antivirus, antispyware, a commercial or more in the form of fake optimizer as in the case of PC Performer … These rogues take advantage of the ignorance and gullibility of users often by using fear as psychological leverage to make you install the software that, at first glance, works for your benefits …
PC Performer is no exception to the rule; once in your computer, its interface is well-presented, suggesting that the user has indeed a real security ware. In addition, it seems effective: it detects many threats that it deletes with no problem and very quickly.
This demonstration (completely fictitious) often leaves the user totally happy; he passes a few minutes from the fear of having his machine completely infected to having a sound machine … And it is at this point that PC Performer asks you to hand over your wallet.
In short, if PC Performer is housed on your PC, do not leave this any longer and learn below how to remove it effectively.
