Getting rid of Windows Privacy Agent
Does the name Windows Privacy Agent ring any bell in your head? Well as the name suggest many of you may feel it is an Anti-virus program. If you are thinking as such then you are absolutely wrong as Windows Privacy Agent is one of the most rogue software ever available in the market which itself is a malware. This software disguises itself as a genuine program with realistic portrait by adding Microsoft graphic and logo seeing which any user can mistake it to be a genuine program.
Once installed this program shows fake warnings to coerce users into buying more of their products and in the process compromising users systems leading to various security and privacy issues. This program will display messages such as: ‘Microsoft Security Essentials Alert, Potential Threat Alert’ etc which the user thinks to be a genuine threat. 
Once the user clicks on OK the program installs additional malware into the system and asks the user to reboot the system. After restarting the system a fake scan begins and continues never to end until and unless you give the hackers your money by buying additional software. Even if you ignore one warning this annoying malware will pop-up security warnings from time to time to admit you into buying their product.
Before Windows Privacy Agent unleashes its terror upon you it is better to get rid of it manually or automatically by using an effective registry cleaning software. You can manually delete this malware from the HKCU folder in your Windows Registry. Remove all values associated with it like DLL and LNK files. However, if you are not an advanced user it is recommendable to use an effective third party registry cleaner which can get rid of most malicious software including Windows Privacy Agent from your system.
