Privacy Vulnerability Detected (401 EVP Warning)

816093-MS03-011 system warning: your Internet activities are being recorded...



Your PC keeps records of all your online and off-line activity. Any websites you view, e-mails you send, and everything else you or someone else have ever done on your computer can be found out.
You need special software to resolve this problem

They know you are using


They know your system is


These words have been found in your system records:



Your risk status for further investigation: VERY HIGH RISK


Time of latest investigation:
YOUR COMPUTER IS FULL OF EVIDENCE

Your hard drive might appear clean, but still be full of 'sensitive material' that you did not want to download in the first place and it might very well be a serious criminal offence to have that data stored on your computer even if you didn't know it was still there.

Now you understand all your risks. How would you feel if a snoop made this information public to your spouse, mother & father, neighbors, children, boss, church or the media?

To avoid such problems in future, professionally clean up your records before they are available to everybody and keep your computer secure & private, we recommend you to use approved & certificated software.

Take a look at [LN];816093 for details.

Visit and make sure you download all the latest updates.

Download Spybot from and adaware from both are free. Run the scans on both of them to remove any spy/adware.

Then download hijack this from and create a start-up list.
Config > Misc Tools > Generate Startup Log

Then post the contents here.

Try Spy Ware Search & Destroy 1.2 or Adaware. They are both available for download. Do not click on the download this software is offering!
 
You are looking at an Advertisement. That link "You need special software to resolve this problem" will take you to some crappy shareware place trying to sell you software to "clean" your system , that in itself will probably install REAL spyware on your system.

Don't worry about it, it is a scam, just reset your homepage in your browser.

Check your registry:
To remove it go to REGEDIT: and find this key and delete it. You can just go to edit, search, then type "x401.html" and it'll probably find it pretty fast.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = C:\WINNT\system32\securityID=816093-MS03-011&privacyAPI32=x401.html

You should also go run a spyware program, as that is probably what installed it and forced it to be your homepage.
