Pending: Privacy Tools Pack - rttech82

rttech82 · 03-28-2009

I too ended up with this virus/trojan. Its asking for money and directs me to Privacy Tools Pack so this outfit is clearly a scam.

I was able to remove this bug by booting into "Safe Mode", type msconfig in the Start Run box. In Startup, uncheck "pc" then go into ad/remove programs from control panel and uninstall PC.

Final note, this trojan is NOT coming from PRIVACY CENTER - INTERNET ANONYMITY AND SECURITY SOLUTIONS WITH PRIVACY CENTER. When I googled "Privacy Center" Privacy-Center.net is the first site that comes up. This is a reputable privacy company (been around for over 10 years) and even though its not them that created this garbage, they were quite helpful in getting it off my computer. Seems they are not happy their trademarked name is being used without their knowledge or permission.

Hello rttech82,

I have split your post from the thread that you posted in so as to keep things simpler.

I have also edited out the links in your post, because they link to malicious sites and visitors/members may click on them by accident.

For now, please click on the Prework link in my signature and post back with the requested logs. Once you have done that, I will be able to help you deal with the problem and restore your computer to a clean state.
