PCPrivacy
PCPrivacy (aka PC Privacy) is a rogue anti-spyware program designed to pilfer money from unwary computer owners. PC Privacy uses Trojans to spread via network systems and corrupt websites. The Trojans redirect the browser to a fake scan page which produces bogus results claiming the PC is infected with malware. Soon the system will be bombarded by popups urging the purchase of PC Privacy to remove the so-called threats. Do not become a another hapless victim of cyber crime and have PCPrivacy removed from the compromised computer immediately using reliable anti-spyware software.
