Windows Optimization & Security is a typical malware product that has been skillfully designed after another rogue anti-spyware Windows System Optimization.
Trying to gain the income and help for scammers, these malwares will trick people into paying for their licensed version which is classically presented to be the only program capable of eliminating viruses “detected”. However, just like its direct clone, Windows Optimization & Security program is useless in finding and removing any kind of virus because it has no virus database. Don’t waste your time on dealing with this cyber threat and remove Windows Optimization & Security once you see its reports telling that you are infected.Windows Optimization & Security gets on the targeted machine with a help of Trojans that come through security software vulnerabilities without any permission asked. If your anti-virus and anti-spyware are not updated constantly, Trojans may even let more than one malware inside your PC, so keep your machine protected!
This secret intrusion of Windows Optimization & Security is followed by triggering system tray notifications telling about dangerous infections detected and Microsoft Security Essentials alerts also announcing about dangerous activity detected.

Registry Entries to be removed. (Take a backup of registry, before editing it)

Although it is possible to manually remove Windows Optimization & Security, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed.
