Windows-privacy-protection.com Screenshot 1Windows-privacy-protection.com is a link farm website that pretends to offer search-relevant links while Windows-privacy-protection.com, instead, exposes you to irrelevant or even malicious websites. Besides this search-obfuscating behavior, Windows-privacy-protection.com has also been linked to browser hijackers that redirect you to Windows-privacy-protection.com and Windows-privacy-protection.com affiliates. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you use a dedicated anti-malware program to remove a browser hijacker infection, as soon as you see signs of your browser being redirected to Windows-privacy-protection.com, since exposure to Windows-privacy-protection.com can cause long-term damage to your PC over time. Strong security settings for your web browser will also help to reduce the potential harm that Windows-privacy-protection.com and relates sites can cause to your PC through accidental exposure.

Windows-privacy-protection.com - a Site That Has Zero Interest in Your Protection or Privacy

Although Windows-privacy-protection.com's web address suggests that Windows-privacy-protection.com is a website for rogue anti-spyware programs like SpyMaxx, AntispyStorm 2008, SpyShredder or SpywareSecure, Windows-privacy-protection.com's current goal is to provide profit-generating links to commercialized and irrelevant websites. SpywareRemove.com malware experts have found that, like most sites that are affiliated with link farms, Windows-privacy-protection.com links have no useful content to offer visitors and aren't sorted to prevent exposure to malicious content.

As a result, contact with Windows-privacy-protection.com can cause your PC to be infected with rogue security programs (as noted above), browser hijackers that redirect your web browser to Windows-privacy-protection.com or other PC threats like viruses. Obviously, trying to use Windows-privacy-protection.com as a helpful online resource is a self-destructive idea, despite Windows-privacy-protection.com's attempts to market itself as a provider of spyware-removing programs, free college courses, credit reports and other types of useful goods and services.

Although SpywareRemove.com malware experts have noted that accidentally finding Windows-privacy-protection.com isn't likely for the average Internet-user, browser hijackers that are affiliated with Windows-privacy-protection.com and similar types of harmful sites have been known to redirect web browsers to Windows-privacy-protection.com without consent, thus vastly inflating Windows-privacy-protection.com's traffic. Browser-hijacking Trojans are most-frequently installed by dropper Trojans or by malicious scripts that are embedded in hostile sites (potentially including Windows-privacy-protection.com itself).
