CTRLComponents

Posted: April 30, 2010

CTRLComponents is a fake security application also known as Control Components. Both the name CTRLComponents and Control Components represent a rogue anti-spyware application that is designed to use extortion methods to get gullible computer to purchase a full version of the CTRLComponents application. Not does CTRLComponents fail at removal of computer parasites, but it cannot detect them either.

CTRL Components may be installed without knowledge through the use of a Trojan horse parasite. Usually once this happens, a computer user is bombarded with a plethora of bogus popup alerts and system scan results. It is recommended that CTRLComponents be detected and automatically removed with a spyware removal tool.
