Advanced System Care?

Ok so I saw a video that was showing this program called advanced system care.



Advanced SystemCare Free 4 Download Review for Windows XP/Vista/7 - IObit



Before I download it, is it any good?



And are there any other better programs?

Never heard of it. Probably just defragments your hard drive/ registry and does registry cleaning. I can't see how it would improve internet speeds by 400%

woah, I just did a scan with it and it found a trojan within 1 minute at C:instal.exe



Could it be lying? Or should I clear it? My other anti viruses like MSE and malware bytes havent found anything last time I scanned

I don't think it would lie. More likely it's a false positive. Or it could be legit.

Advanced SystemCare Free - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com



Is the file you downloaded or installed the same size as the one here?



If so it is probably OK, but I would not recommend having multiple Malware detectors running at the same time.

I would stick with the usual stuff recommended here - MSE, Malwarebytes, etc.

An example of a false positive is as follows - I have a program that I know is not malware installed called stressrelief.exe and everytime I scan with MB it flags it as malware. .



BTW I found this on another site, instal.exe - instal, soft6 worm, Virus Notice!

but I am not sure if the site I just mentioned is legit.

Have you installed and windows updates lately, the file could relate to a recent update to Visual C++.



Right click on the file and go to properties, does it say microsoft corporation?

Why is 2010 free if 2011 is free?

No. The name alone is sufficient for that judgment.

You don't need any of that stuff.
