Hello guys, I have just run a system scan using Reimage and it has detected Search Privacy virus in my computer. I was scared because the scan revealed many PUPs in my computer, so I quickly clicked remove. Now I want to know how dangerous Search Privacy virus is and what did it do to my computer??

Search Privacy virus is actually a potentially unwanted program (PUP), and such programs are not considered to be dangerous. Most likely Search Privacy redirect virus has entered your computer system together with some free program that you have recently installed, but you should not think that it has initiated any illegal activities on your computer. The most that it could do was collect personally non-identifiable information about your browsing sessions.
