I'm pretty sure everyone who is running Windows software on their computer knows what I'm talking about.
WINDOWS CONTROL! PROVEN TO BE THE MOST ANNOYING FAKE ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM EVER!
That's right, any of you whose parents paid for Windows Control Antivirus or paid for it yourself... You are now a victim of a scam. Control just got onto my computer a couple of hours ago. I knew something was up right away, because my AVG antivirus had JUST finished a scan with zero viruses detected not even five minutes before I got multiple virus alerts from Control. It got onto my computer sometime during that time, apparently. For the past three hours I have been recieving virus alerts every five minutes. And one of them was the stupidest thing ever.
"A uTorrent file has been detected on your computer. You may be sued and jailed for piracy due to the SOPA bill. Activate your full protection now for (something about anonymous data transfer)."
There are so many things wrong with thar, I don't even know where to start. Oh wait. Yes I do. SOPA DID NOT PASS! The idiots who made this trojan must not be paying attention to anything. Another thing, the only thing I use to download stuff is 4shared.com, and even then I only get Vocaloid music, MikuMikuDance models, and voice banks for UTAU. None of that has a copyright license, not even the music. Made by fans, for fans. Lastly... No. Just... No. It's called proxies, dumbbutts. Get the bullcorn out of your heads and THINK before putting this stuff in tour phony-fuddy-duddy scams.
I have been up all night looking for a free way to get rid of this, but I have only found one solution that is free of charge: manual virus deleting.
EDIT: I just found a FREE version of a program that will scan and remove without having to upgrade. It is called SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition. Download this and do a full scan, the go through the removal process before trying this below. I'm running a full scan on my laptop as I am typing this.
I found a list of files that make up Windows Control. All you have to do is go to the start menu, search and find these.
SEARCH FOR THESE:
%AppData%NPSWF32.dll
%AppData%result.db
%AppData%Protector-(random 3 characters).exe %AppData%Protector-(random 4 characters).exe %CommonStartMenu%ProgramsWindows Multi Control System.lnk
%Desktop%Windows Multi Control System.lnk
BEFORE YOU READ AHEAD, IF YOU ARE NOT SKILLED WITH COMPUTERS, FIND SOMEONE WHO IS. YOU DON'T WANT TO ACCIDENTALLY DELETE THE WRONG FILES.
DELETE EVERYTHING IN THESE LISTS AS YOU FIND THEM! These files make up Windows Control. I am going to stay up all night until I find every last one of them and delete them down to you-know-where!
P.S. I know this is stupid since they will never see this but... Whoever made Control better hide their desktops, laptops, and computer mice because I will destroy them!
it depends on what OS you're running too it's not always the same for all windows to fix that sometimes windows control will actually do it's job it all just depends....
