Version: Malware Remover Backdoor Guard 1.2
"Don't use it!!!!!!!!!! Please read!!"
Pros: nothing at all!!
Cons: I don't ever warn so strongly against a software, but I will make an exception here! I installed malware remover and scanned, only to find i had 9 infected reg keys and 8 infected files. Now , looking these over i noticed that they consisted of some xxxcool reg key, my legit, bought antivirus, my cookies from signing into msn hotmail, my Lexmark printer software-conisdered backdoor virus, and a windows update file considered trojan! Now first let me assure you i am no stranger to pcs and have been savy enough to win on cnet weekly forum question. Now, i have reg backup and install guards on my pc so no reg key gets by unless i know it. I know what programs are what blah blah etc....I also noticed that those xxxcool reg keys are not in my registry . I have a very good reg editor\finder etc... Then I get mad, unistall, email the company to complain because they want money to get rid of this so called malware. Now, I reinstall, so i can scan and take snap shots to prove my woes and what do i get? More infected files all of the sudden! 14 this time and more reg keys! Now keep in mind i installed nothing new in this time, all i did was email them, so i now have 6 new malware infection and more in the registry! I feel sorry for a typical user who runs this and gets taken. To me, this is more of a crime than the actual malware. Don't beleive me though, check it yourself.
