Windows Privacy Module

Windows Privacy Module's features may appear to be handy security and anti-malware functions, but its true intentions are geared more towards attacking your computer's integrity rather than safeguarding it. While Windows Privacy Module's appearance strongly resembles baseline brands of Windows anti-malware software, the only warning messages from Windows Privacy Module are guaranteed to include misinformation about nonexistent attacks against your PC, ranging from unwarranted Windows Registry changes to identity theft. Windows Privacy Module may also attempt to modify your browser's settings in ways that cause search hijacks or block genuine security tools under the pretense of protecting your computer. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend deleting Windows Privacy Module's fraudulent software by way of an actual anti-malware scanner, even if this requires that you use additional methods to shut Windows Privacy Module down beforehand.

Windows Privacy Module – a Doppelganger That Does Your PC Security a Major Disservice

Windows Privacy Module is easily identified as a clone of other modern variants of FakeVimes by its inclusion of fake features like its 'Activate Ultimate Protection' and Advanced Process Control, all of which are used to supplant legitimate software and security features. In its course of action to make you pay out in cash for its services, Windows Privacy Module conjures up fantasies about rootkits, keyloggers and even identity theft attacks in its fake pop-up alerts, many of which will imitate Windows-based warnings. As a rogue anti-malware program, Windows Privacy Module and its clones also include a simulated system scanner that will always return poor results – at least, until you dare to register Windows Privacy Module. Among the many clones of Windows Privacy Module are Privacy Guard Pro, PrivacyGuard Pro 2.0, Extra Antivirus, Fast Antivirus 2009, Presto TuneUp, Windows Security Suite, Smart Virus Eliminator, Packed.Generic.245, Volcano Security Suite, Windows Enterprise Suite, Enterprise Suite, Additional Guard, Live PC Care, PC Live Guard, Live Enterprise Suite, Security Antivirus, My Security Wall, CleanUp Antivirus and Smart Security.

SpywareRemove.com malware experts don't see any point in spending real money on Windows Privacy Module's fake security features, but they have found some purpose in faking Windows Privacy Module's registration process. The code '0W000-000B0-00T00-E0020' will allow you to do this and trick Windows Privacy Module into believing that Windows Privacy Module already has your money while you prepare to disinfect your PC – ideally by making use of a real anti-malware product that can identify and remove Windows Privacy Module and similar FakeVimes-based scamware.

The Underlying Urgency of a Windows Privacy Module Crisis

Fake security features are the most visible aspects of Windows Privacy Module's attacks, but SpywareRemove.com malware research team considers some of Windows Privacy Module's more surreptitious attacks to be of greater danger to your PC. Security problems accompanying infections by Windows Privacy Module can include:

• Hosts file changes that force your browser to redirect its searches from popular search engines to little-known and prospectively malicious sites.
• Blocked security programs, including anti-malware software. Due to this risk, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers suggest disabling Windows Privacy Module (via Safe Mode, a removable hard drive boot or other methods) before you try to disinfect your PC.
• Disabled Windows security features. Your browser may be allowed to download malicious files without accompanying warnings and administrative-privilege access may be granted to harmful programs (which can enable future attacks).
