Wind Optimizer

Wind Optimizer (WindOptimizer) is a fake Windows optimization program that falsely claims it can speed up your computer. In actuality, Wind Optimizer comes from the same group of hackers that created Personal Antivirus, which is a deceiving and fake anti-spyware program.

Wind Optimizer, once installed, is able to load during boot of your Windows PC and then start to scan your system. After scanning you may get bogus results and fake popups that warn you of things to do for improving the performance of your computer. These messages cannot be trusted. Wind Optimizer is not able to speed up anything other than the rate that you lose money by forcing you to purchase this worthless application. Do not purchase Wind Optimizer. Keep your money and your computer safe. Remove Wind Optimizer now.
