    Privitize VPN
    « on: November 26, 2012, 02:31:08 PM »
    Recently I've been getting this warning saying," Do you want this program to make changes to your computer?" and the program listed is Privitize VPN. I clicked yes and no, and nothing happens; it just closes and everything is fine, but I really want to get rid of it.  I think my little sister tried to download some movie or something, but she said she cancelled downloading it. I'm not sure how to get rid of it. Can't find anything on my computer that says Privitize VPN. Please help. Thanks

      For what it's worth when i tried to do research on "Privitize VPN" and then from the google search clicked on what appears to be the company web site my Avast virus software immediately stated a trojan infection attempt had been blocked. Therefore i would recommend that you run your virus protection program and after which also run Malwarebytes as well. If doing both doesn't remove the appearance of the window then i would suggest going over to the CH "virus/malware" forum and posting your issue there and the experts on that forum will be glad to assist you.truenorth

      That program is the UAC (User Account Control) prompt. Clicking Yes allows the program listed to have nearly unlimited access to your computer -- this includes files, programs, and many windows system settings. In the future, if you see this message and don't have a clue what the program in question is, don't click Yes. If it is indeed a virus (and this one appears to be), clicking that Yes button makes it easier for the virus to do its nasty work  :-\

          Yo. Could you please check this site out? ========== -- It's a good VPN provider-- I use them all the time and whenever I go on travel. Maybe you would consider to use it also. Thanks a lot.
