The chance can be one of your careless operation such as a visit to some malicious sites, click a cataleptic video or advertisement link, etc. No matter in which way, Windows Proactive Safety will automatically install in your computer without your notice and permission. Once the rogue program is installed in your computer it will be configured to start automatically when Windows starts.

If you attempt to use the program to remove these infections, though, it will state that you at first need to purchase it before it can do so. This is a scam as the scan results are all fake, and in many cases, the infected files do not even exist on your computer. What is worse, it blocks legitimate Windows applications. It will also block many of the infected computer’s normal functions, for example, Windows Task Manager and Registry editor. Therefore, please ignore the scan results. Do not waste any of your time with Windows Proactive Safety, and, most importantly, do not spend any money on its licensed version, because this antispyware application is completely fake.
