[Rouge / Fake AV] PC Optimizer Pro

Scams
1

So, I recently stumbled across PC Optimiser Pro while looking for Rouge AV’s to put on my VM for when I call Tech Support Scammers… This actually looks pretty legit as it has a Shredder which works and maybe some other working features… But the actually scanning / anti-virus is a scam by detecting viruses (which you don’t even have) and making you pay to remove… Also the program can easily be closed completely in Task Manager…

There site: https://www.pcoptimizerpro.com/

Has a product support number on the sites.

Note: If you're a Virgin Media user and you're going to download the program then use a VPN due to Virgin blocking the download link.

One thing that surprises me I guess is how they've been alive since 2013 and maybe longer...
