When Privacy Components came up, I could not access my Desktop, My Computer, the Internet or anything, so when I looked at a friend’s computer suggesting solutions involving these I was stumped.
So if you can’t access anything, the Privacy Components has its own Achilles Heel. In the bottom left is a link to Microsoft Privacy. Click on this and there is a Google search box.
Type in Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Download link.
Select this and download it. It works, though I think you need to press ‘Open’ rather than ‘Save’.
It took about fifteen minutes; very cheesed off my Norton didn’t prevent this in the first place.
