PrivacyControl (also known as PrivacyControl 2007) is rogue security program. It manipulates people who are interested in protecting their personal information. Privacy Control is presented online as freeware; however, it doesn’t work and it urges to pay for using it if someone downloads the free version. The advertisements claim that the paid version is fully functional but the full version doesn’t even exist. This is why Privacy Control is called a scam.
Avoid downloading PrivacyControl and remove it if it is already installed on your computer.
