Privacy Center is a form of scareware that hijacks Microsoft Windows operating systems. It masquerades as a spyware remover, performs fake system scans to report (fake) infections and persuades the user to purchase the "full version" of Privacy Center to remove the reported infections and to protect the PC from future infections. It appears as a green system tray icon that often takes over the screen and blocks the desktop, including the start icon. Unlike other rogue anti-viruses, Privacy Center has the capability of running in safe mode. Attempts to close the system tray are futile. Also, the system will often not acknowledge the insertion of a USB flash drive.
