Wind Optimizer is a rogue Windows optimization program that supposedly optimizes and speeds up your computer performance. It was created by the same developers who have released rogue security applications General Antivirus and Personal Antivirus. Likely, the rogue is advertised through the use of Trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo. Once installed, Wind Optimizer will automatically scan your computer and report various bogus infections or security threats. In order to remove these infections, you will be asked to purchase the program. However, WindOptimizer is a scam, don't purchase this program. You will only waste your money.

While running, Wind Optimizer will display exaggerated security alerts and privacy violation notifications. You may also notice that your computer works slower than usual. This is because this program uses a lot of computer's CPU and memory. It may also download additional malware onto your computer. As you could already understand Wind Optimizer is totally worthless and even dangerous application. It should be removed as soon as possible. If your computer is infected with this parasite, please use the remove guide below to remove it manually for free.
