Windows Stability Center

In today’s increasingly unsafe and hostile online world, it’s a race against time for developers of rogue antispyware like Windows Stability Center to try and stay ahead of genuine security tools. Windows Stability Center is a clone of a long line of rogue antispyware applications, including Windows Expansion System, Windows Power Expansion, Windows Simple Protector and Windows Safety Protection, which were all identified as rogue applications.

If you’re wondering how this rogue can penetrate past your PC’s security measures to root itself in the system, then learning about its various infiltration tactics might surprise you. Windows Stability Center makes use of nefarious methods to clandestinely break into a system. These include bogus online malware scanners and seditious browser hijacking websites. Windows Stability Center can also spread via infected .exe files which once executed will infect the PC with this rogue.

Application that seems to be a key-logger is detected. System information security is at risk. It is recommended to enable the security mode and run total System scanning.

Reported symptoms of Windows Stability Center include barring users from accessing their Desktops, slow Internet connections and the inability to launch any type of executable application on the system. Others complained about increased erratic system behavior as well as poor system performance. Although these symptoms can be excruciatingly annoying, there does seem to be a way to regain access to the Desktop. The following instructions should help you access the Desktop again:

1. Restart the system. The Windows Stability Center startup screen will block access to the Desktop. Click the “OK” button to make this go away. The rogue will now initiate a fake system scan.
2. Once the scan is finished another fake security notice will appear, click OK once more.
3. Click on the red “X” at the right top of the page to make this notification disappear.
4. It should now disappear and you will be able to access your desktop again.

Although you might find it difficult to manually remove Windows Stability Center from the system without some help, you might consider investing in a security tool which will not only take care of this infection and destroy Windows Stability Center permanently but will also offer adequate protection against similar future attacks.
