But if you guys do not recommend it then thanks for the reply. I will uninstall it too. One thing I do not understand is why people in VT just give a thumb down without explaining why they think is malware? Maybe some are from competation?

Anyway its weired.

This isn't the South Korean firm but rather a Brazilian firm.​

ok then thanks for letting me know.

 

[taleblou]

But I was surprised that its GUI looked very similar in its malware scanning to baidu.

The South Korean product, which I regard as reputable, is ALYac

 

[taleblou]

well I checked its facebook and it reports 120000 liked of the software and alot of tips and positive feedback from users????

here it is: https://www.facebook.com/YACmx

Also there are reprots that it detected some bad known malwares that scape MBAM and AVAST.

Well I don't think it's from Brazil, by just checking the page's website it says ".mx" and that stands for Mexico

 

[WinXPert]

well if you still want to test it for yourself, uninstall it then try it in a virtual environment.

 

[Striker]

this cant be a real program. the website in german is a totaly desaster and almost nothing is corect
