Control Components

Posted: March 26, 2010

Control Components (aka CTRLComponents and ControlCnt) is a rogue anti-spyware program designed to pilfer money form hapless computer users. Control Components reports bogus threats and displays fake security warnings on your computer to trick you into thinking that your PC is infected with malware. This fake program is from the same family as Control Center. Control Components uses Trojans, that come from fake online scanners or fake video sites, to do its dirty work. Once active, Control Components simulates a system scan and displays a list of malware infections. Soon popups will prompt you to pay for a full version of the program to remove the alleged infections. Do not fall for this blatant scam and have Control Components removed form your system immediately.
