PrivacyWarrior Removal Guide

PrivacyWarrior Description

PrivacyWarrior is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses scare tactics to get you to purchase the full version of the PrivacyWarrior program. PrivacyWarrior or Privacy Warrior, may be downloaded and installed through the Zlob Trojan infection which can come from a fake video codec download or MediaAcces Codec installer which is present on porn websites. PrivacyWarrior, if installed, may prompt you with popups or alert messages that say you have "compromising files" which is a bogus alert message.

Do not click on any link provided by PrivacyWarrior. If you do, you'll be redirected to PrivacyWarrior's website (PrivacyWarrior.com) or another rogue website to download and purchase the full version of PrivacyWarrior. PrivacyWarrior "System scan" messages may continue to try to recreate itself after reboot.
