You may think that dosn't matter, but I realy want to use Ubuntu 12.04 without this program, Pornview, in Software center for personal reasons.

Thus my question is, how do I hide a particular piece of software from appearing in Software Center and the Dash?

Press Alt+Ctrl+T to open the terminal and run the following command.

sudo apt-get remove Pornview

There is no graphical means to achieve this. Given an application with the package name foobar, open a terminal with Ctl-Alt-T and type:

sudo rm /usr/share/app-install/desktop/foobar*.desktop
sudo update-apt-xapian-index

Then log out, and log in again.
