I'm not trying to provoke you, just stating facts. These unwanted programs are more often than not safe, but are typically detected because they come as unwanted bundled extras with other software.Ĭlick to expand.You say you don't need to be told how it works, yet you have the idea that this is somehow a fake antivirus. I hope you realise that many things detected by antiviruses these days are deteted on the basis of them being 'uwanted programs' rather than acutally being threats. But, the reality is that they will detect viruses, and also remove them too, if you buy the product, and won't harm your if you were to actually test any of these antiviruses, rather than making assumptions, you would see that what I say is true. Another bad point, is that sometimes they have an extremely high price which is much higher than the price of well known and trusted antiviruses. Also, they typically won't have any proactive protection. More often than not, they will have a very basic user interface, with limited options. Due to them using legitimate signatures, they will only identify actual threats rather than providing fake scan results.

What is reasonably common these days however, is antiviruses such as this one, which come from unknown pubishers, which actually use Bitdefender, Avira or Vipre signatures. However, these days, such rogues are few and far between.

A number of years ago, there were plenty of rogue/fake antiviruses, which would always say that your system was infected - even if it was clean, to encourage people to buy the full version.
