Windows Privacy Extension Removal Guide

Windows Custom Management is a rogue anti-spyware program from the Rogue.FakeVimes family of computer infections. This family of infections is spread through hacked web sites, fake online anti-malware scanners, and Trojans that pretend to be software that is necessary to view an online video. When Windows Custom Management is installed it will be set to start automatically when you log into Windows. The installer will also create numerous Windows Registry entries that make it so you unable to launch many of your normal Windows and security applications. Instead when you launch one of these programs, the Registry entry will launch Windows Custom Management, which will state that the program is infected.

When the rogue is started it will automatically perform a scan of your computer and state that there are numerous infections present. If you attempt to remove any of these so-called infections the program will state that you first need to purchase it before being allowed to do so. As all of the files in the scan results are either harmless or do not even exist, please do not purchase Windows Custom Management.
