Hi.

In internet, I Found this site: url removed

that Distribute a 30 day trial version of ''PC Tools Antivirus''; of course, Ithink it isn't legal, because from Pc Tools site you can download the free versione of PC Tools Antivirus.

However, the PC Tools Antivirus that you can dowload from that site, is infected by a virus. It is detected like a Trojan or a Worm or an adware.


This is the report of Virustotal: http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/07789bec95a0af204fe616c932a1e3e8


This is the report of ThreatExpert: http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?uid=dc1976d7-3025-4c41-9243-a80c4bfb807c

it is detected by ThreatExpert, but not from PC Tools.

(sorry for my poor english)

I I I I,

Thank you for the report. I have removed the link from your post so other users won't download the infected version and have escalated this issue to be dealt with.

You should always download PC Tools software directly from our website as our downloads are all clean.

thanks

Nicholas
