How to remove SysKontroller?
What is SysKontroller?
SysKontroller is a new rogue scam – a program that masquerades as a system cleaner, but is actually a bogus tool, which uses scare tactics to extort money from gullible users. SysKontroller typically infects the PC by using trojans, which install the program by exploiting browser security holes.
Quite like rogue anti-spyware programs, SysKontroller floods the user with excessive amounts of popups and fake system notifications "informing" him of an error or errors on the system, which are likely non-existent. The point of these threat reports is to convince users to download the bogus system cleaner, which then reaffirms the existence of the errors by producing falsified scan reports. These tactics often lead users to buy the "full" or "licensed" version of the program, which is, in fact, the whole point of the scam.
SysKontroller is targeted at the German-speaking public, but there are no apparent differences between it’s homepage and the homepages of other such scams: the content consists of the all too familiar mix of fearmonging and self-praise, the domain is registered to a "Hanz Zelts", whose contact email is "no_name_inc@yahoo.com" and the website doesn’t use a legitimate payment system.
SysKontroller is a scam and should therefore not be trusted. Block syskontroller.com using your HOSTS file.

As soon as the victim downloads SysKontroller trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, SysKontroller offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, SysKontroller does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as SysKontroller, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet.

It then proceeds to download or even install SysKontroller, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as SysKontroller, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
