This popped up on my computer:
Privacy Vulnerability Detected (292 MPV
Warning) ..."your internet activities are being
recorded."
It somehow made itself become my homepage, which I
altered back.
How did it appear on my computer in the first place?
Will it come back?
Is it truly from Microsoft Windows and legitimate?
If so, what are the ramifications of it appearing on my
computer?
