SoftSafeness (aka Soft Safeness) is a program associated with the so-called WiniSoft rogue antispyware family formed by such previously known badwares as SafetyKeeper, QuickHealCleaner, SystemCop, BlockDefense, WiniFighter, to enumerate just a few. Similarly to its forerunners listed above, SoftSafeness makes it really soft and silent when bypassing the authentication and infiltrating one’s computer without the smallest hint of user awareness and, of course, consent. Once on the host PC, Soft Safeness will display fake advertisements that attempt take advantage of the victim’s naivety (if any) by making him/her believe a variety of infections have been detected and should be eliminated as quickly as possible. To make the whole “PC is infected” story yet more persuasive, SoftSafeness will surely apply its secret weapon, i.e. the fabricated system scanners that pop up unexpectedly and report even more infections on your PC.
