PerformanceOptimizer is another fake performance optimization tool that can be classified as a corrupt anti-spyware tool. It claims to be able to "optimize" spyware, which makes no sense whatsoever. Moreover, PerformanceOptimizer displays fake error reports and tries to scam you into buying its useless "full" version. Unless you call the act of emptying your pockets, "optimization", you should remove this program immediately after detection.
