Control Center Image
Control Center (or ControlCenter) is a malicious anti-spyware application from the rogueware family of Privacy Center and Safety Center. With the help of stealthy Trojans, Control Center is able to surreptitiously enter user's systems. Control Center attempts to trick users into believing that their computers are infected with malware that can only be removed with Control Center itself.
Do not be fooled by the scan reports, warnings and pop-ups displayed by Control Center, they are all fabricated and not to be trusted. Control Center will not only swindle you out of your money, but also greatly affect the operation of your computer system. If encountered on your computer, uninstall Control Center immediately.
