I got Privacy Scanner too, and I *know* I didn't install it. The people at Privacy Champion have been very unhelpful. When asked how to uninstall it, they told me to delete the exe file and the shortcut on my desktop. I have never seen a legitimate program that didn't allow itself to be uninstalled, and I find it very unlikely that this program did not put anything in my registry. I asked them again about the registry, and they didn't reply. I have asked them a THIRD time, not so nicely. Tomorrow I start a public relations campaign from h*ll that will put them in a very bad light. Unless they tell me what they did to my computer and how to fix it.
If anyone else has ever encountered these guys, please let me know what your experience was. They seem to be fairly new, but I don't believe they're legitimate purveyors of useful software. I've never had Microsoft Office, for instance, install itself on my computer without my permission and refuse to uninstall.
Thanks.
