Solved: I need help with something?
For some reason I keep getting Privacy Danger spyware on my computer, and I was wondering is there a way to block or prevent this from happening? Please let me know ASAP!

Try a full system scan with your current AV, then scan using SpyBot S&D. It's possible that some infections will not be removed so easily but it'll most likely solve your problem

Use a firewall to prevent future infections, since that's easier than having to heal your PC afterwards. Also keep spybot S&D because it does have some very good functions and it's free.
Also make sure you've updated windows with the latest security patches !

Try some of the online scanners listed in the sticky 'security help tools'.

That's cool! Get a firewall and install spybot with the immunising features and it'll be quite tough to get it again. Also keep in mind to mark this thread as solved (with the thread tools above)!
