Do you know what Windows Efficiency Manager is?
Due to all the time and effort invested by developers of rogue security tools in their products, it can become quite difficult to discern between genuine and fake security tools such as Windows Efficiency Manager. This is because this sophisticated rogue will do everything in its power to convince the user of its authenticity in an effort to scam the consumer out of his hard earned cash, while leaving him with nothing in return but an empty shell.
Windows Efficiency Manager makes use of established forms of infection, and uses Trojans to root its infections in its victims’ PCs. These Trojans are distributed via fake online malware scanners and bundled downloads obtainable from third party websites. Another popular form of distribution include seditious browser hijackers aimed at forcefully redirecting users to their compromised landing pages and using drive-by download tactics to root its infections in its host PCs.
Because Windows Efficiency Manager’s infiltration into the system is virtually undetectable, the user will have a difficult time to identify and erase Windows Efficiency Manager from his system without some help. This rogue will only reveal its presence to the user when it’s ready to launch its attack on the system. This will happen with the user receiving various fake security alerts, all generated by Windows Efficiency Manager. These fake alerts were designed to extort money out of the user, and to cause panic. Do not pay any attention to these fake alerts, and be on the lookout for the following:
Warning!
