There is no doubt that it will detect many non-existed threats when the scan is finished. That is how it freaks people and get illegal profits from innocent net users.

Though the fake antivirus claim it is Windows Advanced Security Center that helps protect your PC it is not trustworthy. Windows Paramount Protection tells you that many threats are found on your computer and it is under no protection at all since its firewall and automatic updates are turned off, as well as the antivirus protection. Computer users are very likely to be cheated by what it said since they don’t have high level of computer expertise.

Conclusion:

Windows Paramount Protection is another fake series as many computer victims can tell from its traits. It nearly locks the infected computer screen by not letting the users go anywhere else on the machine. It won’t even let they use any reputable antivirus software to remove it. It not only infects a computer by misleading the users to download it but also can bundle with some unsafe software or games installers. It can also be caught when you install one program from unsafe provider. As to the bad effect it can bring to a computer it is beyond our imagination. Since it can secretly slip into a computer system without being detected by regular antivirus software it will also do hidden harm to the system. You cannot use your computer as you usually do and if you pay for it and get the control of your computer temporarily the virus is still in your hard drive and will cause more and more other threats installed and it is surely to pop up and ask for more. To protect your computer as well as your precious data on the infected computer you had better get it off in time.
