Do you know what Windows Safety Master is?
Windows Safety Master is a treacherous computer application trying to convince you that your computer is stuffed with key loggers, Trojans and other dangerous infections. This application operates in the same manner as Windows Efficiency Kit and is a clone of this malware. The purpose of misleading you into believing that you are at risk is to persuade you to buy a full version of Windows Safety Master which supposedly removes all types of infections. As this application is malicious and seeks your money, every operation is simulated just to trick you, and if you want to have your system clean, remove the malware at once.
Since the rogue looks like antivirus software, it is easy to place one’s trust in it. It shows scans of the system which always presents something surprising, meaning that every time various infections might be displayed. However convincing they might seem to be, you should not try to delete them manually, because those infections might be files of your system and their removal may impair the system, and you will have two problems: remove the infection and repair the system.
