Antivirus Center is a rogue anti-spyware application that displays fake security alerts and reports false system threats to make you think your computer is infected with viruses and spyware. It's from the same family as Internet Protection. The rogue pretends to scan your computer formalware and then reports numerous infections to do not even exist on your computer. It then prompts to pay for a full version of the program to remove the infections and to protect your computer against new security threats. Actually, it just tries to scam you out of your money. It detects non-existent files as malware but does not allow you to remove them until you purchase the full version of the program. If you have paid for the this program already then I suggest you to contact your credit card company and dispute the charges.

SYMPTOMS OF rogue antispyware INFECTION
Rogue AntiSpyware virus enters your PC without your consent or using some sort of social engineering trick. Fake scanner pages, malicious mail attachments or system vulnerabilities are often used.
Virus has a single goal: to gain money. Like other rogue anti-spyware applications, it will try to convince you that your system is infected with multiple parasites: trojans, adware, or other rogues. Typically, rogues do not provide enough detail about infections detected or show fake results. Rogue anti-spyware like Antivirus Center will not clean any actual infections for free.
Most of the parasites of this type do not have parasite detection engine thus every warning they show is a random one. If you see persistent popups or alerts, you can safely discard them.
You should never pay for Rogue Anti-spyware application like Antivirus Center as it funds development of other computer parasites.
