Hi forum folks,
I use A-squared. I have heard of the free program Malwaredestroyer. It scans fast. Do any of you know if it is good?

Looks a bit similar to a-squared.
i downloaded it to see how it was. Scan took about 5 seconds on my notebook, and it says it found 2 worms that avast! missed. I don’t know if they were real because just last night I scanned with the bit defender online scanner and it came up clean.
Hi justin1278,
This was not a very good review here:
http://www.softpicks.net/forum.htm, it says that malwaredestroyers findings cannot be substantiated or located, so for the same reason they could be false positives. I would not declare it a rogue program per se, but it is not checkable like the findings of HijackThis. Anyone on that?

Right now, seems to promisse more that can do.
I’ve tested. Too many false positives, very few configurations available (not even a permanent Ignore list)
Waiting for further development. This company, in fact, seems to start with freeware than after you contribute with it, migrate to shareware
For now I think I will just un install it.
Hi justin1278,
Actually there should be a place where you can check a program against the number of FP’s it gives. False Positives are a menace to a user. With this I mean not the occasional FP because every program could have them, a misinterpretation or a heuristic result, no there should be a list of programs that feed the user with false positives to sell the program, it is harmful because it sells fear. If that is extremely so, we call it a rogue program, even worse we call it “scumware”.
