Remove Windows Optimal Settings
Microsoft Security Essentials is fast becoming one of the most popular antivirus programs in the world. However, this has also made it one of the more popular ways for a virus program to enter or leave your system. A good example of this trend is the rogue antivirus program that’s called Windows Optimal Settings. Don’t be fooled by the official-sounding name – this is actually a very malicious program that can threaten the safety of your computer.
First, it masquerades as an official Microsoft Essentials update. A lot of people want to keep their computer safe, so they often just let it install. This is a big mistake! Once in your system, this malware program is a big security risk.
What it does is take over your computer; the next time you log-on, you won’t be able to boot up properly – you’ll be taken to a screen calling itself Windows Optimal Settings that is supposedly scanning your computer. It will perform a “scan” and of your system and it will suddenly find a lot of problems caused by malware in it. It says your only hope to remove the malware infection is to buy the full version of it. This is a lie and a part of the scam.
Don’t buy the full version – because it will compromise your credit card number and you don’t need to do it. This is because this piece of malware can be removed quite easily. To find out how to do this, read on.
