pcprivacytool has hijacked my computer
I have run a scan with multiple programs and it doesn't find it or fix it.
Any ideas? |

No idea, but you gotta admit the title of the tool is ironic

Thanks, zippy. Spyware Doctor found it, but to remove it, you must pay $29.95. I am looking for a deal for that program.

Oops - just notice that zippy posted the same removal instructions I was going to pass along (http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-pcprivacytool.html).

I bought Spy Sweeper at Office Depot (Free after Rebate). It doesn't identify it.
The best I can do is type pcprivacytool in PcCillin's restricted sites. When it goes there, a warning shows that it is restricted. |

I don't know if it'll work, but it won't cost you anything but time to try...
