However, this software is a useless tool used by cyber criminals to trick PC users into spending money. It scares the user by showing numerous security warnings. The warnings are designed to look very convincing, so that the user can believe his computer is in big danger. Then Windows Privacy Extension will suggest buying the full version of the product that supposedly can resolve all these issues. Nothing is real when it concerns Windows Privacy Extension. Remove it before it causes much harm with a specialized removal tool.

Autorun of Windows Privacy Extension can be fixed in Hijackthis by fixing the line:
