The TmtkControl or TControl adware are programs that randomly open and display advertisements in your default browser. Even if the browser is closed, TControl, or TmtkControl, will open your default browser and then display one of a myrid of web sites under their control. These web sites all look familiar and will contain nonsense text along with advertisements as seen below.

When the adware opens your browser, it will first connect to mybikeisred.com, which will then randomly display one of the web sites under its control. The list of web sites that were displayed while I tested this adware are:

pbagragguvrs.com encoreuneideealacon.com
tuveuxallerou.com
tunevaspaslecroire.com
myburgeriscoming.com ohnoncenddestimmonde.com leschipscestbon.com iwillenjoythisbbq.com
iwanttoeatit.com viveladopamine.com cesiteestgenial.com jailachiasse.com
enavantlescocos.com pasdeseldansmoncafe.com dansmonsofa.com waterisgoodtodrink.com

All of the above web sites will have a similar same template consisting of a green background, some text, and advertisements.

How did the TmtkControl or TControl adware get on my computer?

It is important to note that the TmtkControl adware is bundled with and installed by free programs that did not adequately disclose that other software would be installed along with it. Therefore, it is important that you pay close attention to license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers you Custom or Advanced installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, if the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you immediately cancel the install and not use the free software.

As shown, TmtkControl or TControl appear to be designed to just open web pages that display advertisements in order to earn the developers revenue. If you find this behavior intrusive, then I suggest that you use the guide below to remove this adware for free.
