I Googled the name of the program and found this:

The Malwarebytes research team has determined that PCPrivacyCleaner is a fake anti-malware application.

Rogue software uses intentional false positives to convince the user that their system has been compromised and then demands money to remove these false threats. In extreme cases the false threats are actually the very trojans that advertise or even directly install the rogue. If PCPrivacyCleaner has been installed on your system without your permission or you are seeing popup advertising or recommending that you use PCPrivacyCleaner your system is infected with the zlob trojan. You are strongly advised to follow our removal instructions below.


Going to try to remove the dern thing. If you don't hear from me for awhile, you'll know why.
