Windows Power Expansion is a fake, rogue and scam tool. It is fake because it claims of itself to be some good anti-spyware tool but it is not even close to be called anti-spyware. It is spyware by itself. It is rogue because it masks its actual malicious goals and evil plots under some "good" made promises and nice-looking design and outwardly friendly appearance. It is scam because it is designed in such a manner that it scares users by originating horrifying reports telling about lots of problems with his/her PC. However, all such reports are not true. The fact is that Windows Power Expansion is a problem by itself.

Windows Power Expansion cannot become your security protector, no matter how convincing it might sound or seem to be. It cannot repair your PC security errors, it cannot enhance its speed. It can only steal your money if you finally trust and obey it. To summarize the above-menioned, Windows Power Expansion is like a wolf in the clothes of a sheep.
