PrivacyControl description
PrivacyControl is not something one should use for their system protection. The program in not a real security application, but rather a computer parasite disguised as an antivirus. In most cases PrivacyControl is installed by trojans which makes it impossible for the user to prevent the process if their system is not properly protected. This is usually done upon visiting some questionable websites which employ trojans to download and install PrivacyControl while the user is surfing the net. PrivacyControl also installs a bunch of files which it later on indicates as threats that should be removed by the payed version of PrivacyControl.
The purpose of this rogue application is to make the user purchase the PrivacyControl software which is advertised as a reputable security software. However, PrivacyControl is not able to protect your system. It is a malicious program and it should not be trusted. The only way to treat PrivacyControl is to remove it as soon as possible.
