What this programs does:

Safety Center is a rogue security suite from the same family as Privacy Center . Safety Center is a program that pretends to be a security suite consisting of a spyware scanner, a firewall, a registry scanner, and privacy protection. In reality, this program has only one goal and that is to take your money without providing anything in return. When installed, Safety Center will be configured to start automatically. Once started you will be shown a screen that shows a variety of tools that you can use to protect and optimize your computer. In reality, though, all of these tools deliberately display false scan results and information to make it seem like you have a problem. It then tries to have you purchase the program so that you can supposedly fix these problems.
