[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 1043462, member: 61892"] Not much different from malwarebytes or any other AV for that matter, but I do not want to go in too deep to avoid legal issues. I would rather use and buy Spyhunter than Malwarebytes, it has great features, like DNS/HOSTS lock, something that AVs omit. Just tested it and got 2 generic "fake" detections (80%), one for windows repair toolbox,[URL='https://davescomputertips.com/beware-windows-toolbox-its-malicious/'] which seems reasonable[/URL] and another one for hibit uninstaller. I am pretty sure, it could be whitelisted. EDIT: Uninstaller requires 2 reboots, there were virtually no leftovers, which can not be said about other AVs, I could even uninstall Kaspersky last time, I had to use system restore to get rid of it.
