Well, luckily for you, I have done my research on this one! Win Antispyware Center is NOT your friend, and should NOT be trusted. In fact as soon as you have detected it, you should uninstall Win Antispyware Center.
So what is Win Antispyware Center?
Win Antispyware Center, also known as WinAntispywareCenter is the latest rogue anti-spyware application (in other words: a fake spyware remover).
Just like its predecessor: XP Internet Security 2010, this particular malware application: Win Antispyware Center, attempts to trick and coerce computer users into purchasing its licensed version by making use of intimidation tactics via fake threats and more.
Win Antispyware Center will infiltrate a computer system by using Trojans, such as the infamous Zlob or Vundo, however it is not uncommon for Win Antispyware Center to enter a system by way of a manual download or via manual installation. One will need to remove Win Antispyware Center and all its components in order to ensure the system is back on track.
Once inside and active, Win Antispyware Center will bombard the user with pop-up messages and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform the user of multiple threats present on their system.
Win Antispyware Center will try to reassure its claims by providing falsified system scan reports. These scan results should NEVER be trusted! Win Antispyware Center is also likely to hijack the user’s browser (homepage, searches), and redirect the user to various sites of dubious nature.
The ultimate goal this parasite has is to get the user to purchase the “licensed version”, which is entirely non-functional. If you encounter Win Antispyware Center, do NOT download or purchase it and you should instead block Win Antispyware Center homepage by making use of your HOSTS file.
This dubious application displays a few key properties:
Win Antispyware Center is a corrupt Anti-Spyware program
Win Antispyware Center may spread via Trojans
Win Antispyware Center may display fake security messages
Win Antispyware Center may install additional spyware to your computer
Win Antispyware Center may repair its files, spread or update by itself
Win Antispyware Center violates your privacy and compromises your security
Win Antispyware Center is installed without your permission.
Win Antispyware Center reputation online is terrible.
The official website of Win Antispyware Center is poorly built and lacks basic information.
The payments website of Win Antispyware Center is suspicious.
Performance of Win Antispyware Center is poor.
Important to bear in mind is the fact that Win Antispyware Center program may be difficult to remove manually, and will continue to try to recreate itself. It is well advised to get rid of Win Antispyware Center as soon as there is an opportunity to do so.
So, how would you know if you had Win Antispyware Center embedded on your system or not?
Well, to be sure, you should run a full system scan with a fully functional, up-to-date and legitimate antispyware application. Should your system be infiltrated by this dubious tool, the best thing to do would be to get rid of Win Antispyware Center as soon as possible!
Word to the wise: remove Win Antispyware Center and your PC woes will be eliminated!
Good luck – and remember: Computer safety First!

Net Protector Antivirus 2010: only protecting its goal of extortion
Woe to those few individuals that continue to make our online experience one filled with second guessing and skepticism. Why – you may ask? Well, for anyone who makes used of the online community on a regular basis, it is clear that the state of one’s computer security is questioned on a daily basis – due to the millions of nefarious applications out there – so again I say woe to those few individuals that design and implement these dubious tactics and applications.
