I downloaded/installed YAC (from www. yac.mx) which is a free and (appears to be) a very comprehensive utility in some respects similar to CCleaner, but better. It DID improve my boot-up time from < 1 minute to 46 seconds - I have NOT encountered new unsolicited e_mail, nor any adverse effects.
Friend just pointed me to the YAC entry in Malware tips a while ago, which defines it as malware - however this is the ONLY entry I can find on the web which condemns it. I also contacted McAfee by phone - whilst they say they do do not endorse ANY third-party software, neither their commercial nor technical support sections say it is malware.
Nevertheless, as suggested I ran Malwarebytes to remove YAC - it didn't.
So, I assume YAC is now NOT malware - am I correct?
(If correct, should the malware tip be updated/deleted)?
