What is Protection Center? (Information)

Protection Center is a fake security software which uses fraudulent strategies by displaying false or exaggerated security issues on your computer rather than any legitimate ones to coerce you into purchasing their software.

Protection Center will produce warnings which are misleading and should not be taken granted. These warnings tell you that Protection Center has detected malware, trojans or other threats on your computer. These fake alerts displays infections which actually do not exist. Protection Center simply attempts to make you hostage with its cruel intentions. The fraudulent activity of Security Master AV can be explained by its desire to entice you into purchasing its paid version.
