Adware.WinControlAd

Adware.WinControlAd is the latest Adware application to be found on many a PC users\' computer system and trailblazing on the internet these days.

Adware.WinControlAd was designed to deliver a variety of advertisements, affiliated with the adware, so as to ensure the optimal advertising of the products associated with Adware.WinControlAd.

Being a form of a malicious infection, Adware.WinControlAd will only represent a security risk to any computer is has infiltrated.

What will do is load up with Internet Explorer, as a Browser Helper Object (BHO).
This means that Adware.WinControlAd is a dynamic link library (DLL) that tends to run as soon as Internet Explorer is started.

BHO’s are usually installed covertly onto an unsuspecting computer system, so as to ensure the secretive gathering of information from the infected computer to a remote controller.

The following symptoms are affiliated with an Adware infection, which are usually tell-tale signs of an infection:

1. PC is working slowly
2. New desktop shortcuts are displayed on the system
3. Annoying pop-up messages (in some cases) keep appearing on the PC
4. E-mails are being sent from your email address without your consent.

To ensure whether your system has been infected is to perform a full computer system scan with a legitimate anti-spyware application.

The fact that Adware.WinControlAd can easily enter any PC system via security exploits and flaws, most times without the user’s interaction, means that it is that much easier for Adware.WinControlAd to enter the system and ensure the system’s security is immensely compromised.

I would recommend that in order to avoid any unneeded risks of damage to your computer system, it is highly recommended to make use of a reliable and legitimate anti-spyware application, so as to remove Adware.WinControlAd and all its components from the infected computer system.
