Windows Power Expansion

The Fake Microsoft Security Essentials scam is an ever-growing family of rogue system optimization application. The newest addition to the group is Windows Power Expansion. Despite the pompous title of the software application, it is a malicious threat, which poses as a good security program. Windows Power Expansion certainly has an attractive interface, but that is because it is supposed to trick a computer user into believing that this program can deal with computer errors.

Windows Power Expansion is a rogue which can easily get into your computer without your knowledge. Therefore you should take infection prevention measures seriously and always check for any spyware files on your computer. Feel free to download the suggested malware scanner, to see if you have been infected already.

1. Reboot your computer and wait for it to load until Windows Power Expansion’s application appears on your screen. Click the “OK” button to make it disappear.
2. The rogue will now start the fake system scan. Wait for it to end, and when another notification appears, click “OK” again.
3. Now close the application by clicking on the red “X” at the right top of it.
4. It should now disappear and you will have your desktop restored.

If you are wondering how Windows Power Expansion got into your computer, then this rogue is usually distributed through fake online scanner websites. You can be redirected to the site hosting a download file for the rogue when you click on a flashing advertisement or on any other suspicious link. The link to fake scanner site can be found even in a site that you know. This suggests that you should refrain from clicking on anything and anywhere that pops up in your screen unexpectedly.

Since Windows Power Expansion pretends to be a reliable security program, when it entrenches in your computer, it suggests you to do a full system scan, in order to optimize the PC performance and remove the detected errors. Naturally, Windows Power Expansion does not have the ability to detect any errors in your system, and all of these messages displayed by the rogue should be ignored:

System component corrupted!
System reboot error has occurred due to lsass.exe system process failure.
This may be caused by severe malware infections.
Automatic restore of lsass.exe backup copy completed.
The correct system performance can not be resumed without eliminating the cause of lsass.exe corruption.

System Security Warning
Attempt to modify register key entries is detected. Register entries analysis is recommended.

Windows Power Expansion enters your system with one goal in mind – stealing your money. Don’t give away your credit card number or any personal information that the rogue would like to know. Instead, acquire a good security tool and remove Windows Power Expansion once and for all.
