Windows Multi Control System Image
Windows Multi Control System's name seems to indicate that this is a security program, or an application for system optimization and management. However, despite its name, Windows Multi Control System does not provide any actual security for your computer system. Quite the opposite, Windows Multi Control System is actually part of a malware attack itself. Malware applications like Windows Multi Control System are known as rogue security programs. They carry out a common online scam which consists in tricking computer users into purchasing useless upgrades for a 'full version' of this bogus anti-virus application.
Rogue security programs are among the most common types of online scams. Their degree of malignancy varies from one to another. While some rogue security programs limit themselves to displaying alarming error messages and little else, many of these bogus security programs use malicious scripts, Trojans, and rootkits to take over the infected computer system. Windows Multi Control System belongs to this kind of intrusive rogue security application. Most of the time, Windows Multi Control System will be associated with a Trojan and dangerous rootkit infection which will not be easy to remove. ESG security researchers consider that Windows Multi Control System poses a severe security risk and that Windows Multi Control System should be removed from an infected computer system immediately with a strong, up-to-dated anti-malware application.
