Privacy Components has completely taken over my screen.As soon as I turn on my laptop, it goes to their big green screen. It covers my screen completely. I can't even get to my START button. Is there any other way to get to your start button (like a hot key)?

It took over my desktop also and I could not access startup button. I rebooted in Safe Mode, did a system restore to a prior date, and voila, desktop reappeared. It is easy to recognize it as a fake request for payment/alert, though, because there are several misspellings such as "registery" and "sturtup".
