Once inside the computer, My Safe PC 2014 runs a system scan which actually only simulates looking for threats. The scan is run without users’ permission and it is not possible to stop it. After a couple of minutes, the program claims that it detected a bunch of threats on your computer and to remove them you will have to activate a full version of My Safe PC 2014. There is no surprise that the complete version of a fake tool is a paid one.
