These ARE 2 different Apps / Utilities, right?
I had in recent weeks been periodically downloadiing McAfee AVERT Stinger to have just in case.
Today I noticed McAfee Fake Alert Stinger.
The version number just happened to be almost identical to the latest McAfee AVERT Stinger that I have.
And the File Sizes are around the same range.
The Info on them seems to indicate that they ARE 2 different things, but I just wondered because of the very similar version numbers and File Sizes.
If they ARE 2 different Apps / Utilities, ARE they good?
Are the SAFE to routinely use periodically? Or are they risky and could screw up your computer?
It is a cleaning tool…to be used when infected, just like Dr.web cureit / Norman malware cleaner / Vipre rescue…
The programs also have no update funktion, so you download latest when you need it
Stinger is a standalone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system.
