PCenter description
PCenter is the malicious software which pretends to be a legitimate security program. It is the latest development of the other notorious malware Privacy Center. When PCenter is downloaded and install on your computer it will start automatically by performing fake system security scans and displaying warning massages about the threats found. Please note that these scans and warning messages are just a part of a scam that is made to push the user into purchasing the useless PCenter software that does not work as a security program and does not protect your computer. If you already have PCenter on your system please follow the steps bellow in order to remove it.

If you reset after thinking you got rid of this program, and you log into vista just to get locked up with its “security scan” do the following:
reboot into safe mode with prompt.
the scanner will start up just Crt Alt Del and goto taskman and kill the agent.exe process.
under run task type: cmd and press enter.
Heres where the DOS generation can really show merrit.
C:\del c:\program files\pcenter\faq\*.*
C:\ …\pcenter\sounds\sc\*.*
C:\ …\pcenter\sounds\sp\*.*
C:\ …\pcenter\images\*.*
C:\ …\Pcenter\*.*
C:\rd c:\program files\pcenter
and that will remove it from the computer allowing you to boot up normally so you can effectivley clean the registry and dlls and all other stuff.

Actually, if you are blocked out of your desktop, just press ctl+alt+delete, start task manager, end PCenter, right click on the task manager applications space, start new task, type “control panel”, go to “add/remove programs, uninstall PCenter, then restart your computer!
All should now be well… It happened to me and i used this method and it worked completly fine.
Good Luck!

I need help! I got the P Center Virus. I am not a technical person and don’t have money to take my computer to a technician. Can anyone walk me through how to combat this virus?
