BAIDU ANTIVIRUS IS A FALSE?

Hello
A few days ago I installed the Antivirus Baidu vers.4; but to make a scanner with my protection system I detect the following threats, so i had to uninstall immediately. I had already read in some page that regard it as dangerous and advised immediate uninstall endangering our PC.

Threats detected:
Threat Name: BaiduBar
Threat Type: Adware
Threat Category: Toolbar
Risk Level: Elevated
Threat found at Thursday, May 8, 2014 2:07:10

Registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ BAIDU \ CommonDll \ Splitupload \ bav \ DllVersion_2.0 1

Relax, it's just a toolbar

What made the detection? Baidu bar by some AV and scanners is adware. Meaning it might be unwanted application but shouldn't be malicious.

Well,could you tell me the name of the scanner you used.
I have seen the report you uploaded.Maybe this scanner may judge Baidu Antivirus as an adware just because of registry key of "Baidu".

Perdon por no mencionar el scanner:
El nombre es Unthreat Antivirus vers. 6

In my opinion,this detection is false positive,Baidu Bar and Baidu Antivirus are two different things.
Well,due to personal reasons,I have no time to do the test.

Q360 will show some Baidu files leftover after uninstalling as spyware.

Baidu is one of the biggest AV vendors in China, next to Qihoo and Tencent. If anything, they're not fake.

Hello!
Could you please send me the files which Qihoo 360 detected as spyware?
Thank you!

Don't remember the file name. Just uninstall Baidu and run a scan with Q360. No other scanner flagged it...it may just be a bit of a war between those two. Baidu did leave behind several drivers, too.

It is just a false positive, Baidu and Qihu are competitors they have been detecting each others files where awhile now as a way to limit competition. It is a dirty trick but in China is accepted.

Thanks.

Well,the driver which Baidu antivirus left will not load to the system.

You're right.The competition environment in China is much different from the other countries'

I used Process Hacker to get rid of it.
