What is privacy protection? Fake virus program?
Hey guys I have a new application on my PC that just showed up and I have no idea what it is. It called itself privacy protection that just popped up on my desktop with no warning whatsoever. I have been using Windows 7 ultimate since he came out and I've never seen this program ever. In fact I had never even heard of it before. It started scanning my computer and found 20 viruses on it. All of my programs closed I could not reopen them and I even restarted my computer. With my computer turned back on the privacy protection application still popped up and I could not access my programs at all. I am getting really worried since I just reformatted my computer about two weeks ago and everything was working perfectly. Is this some sick new virus that is making its way to my computer? I have attached a screenshot below so you guys can take a look at it.
Any help would be appreciated and currently my computer is going to remain off until we figure this out.
