jacaf19 Posted November 25, 2011 ID:498028 Share Posted November 25, 2011 My desktop computer has been hit twice now with a virus that tells you to install Privacy Protection. It does not let me open any other programs, including House Call and Hijack This. The first time, the virus just went away after 24 hours. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it earlier?

jacaf19 Posted November 28, 2011 Author ID:499031 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks but your step-by-step process is more confusing than the problem itself. I was able to resolve the problem by going through safe mode and accessing a version of hijack this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
