From the malware FAQ:
Lastly, anything that's called Win(blah blah blah) like WinFixer 2005 or WinAntiVirus, these programs are evil. Pure evil. If you're lucky they won't do anything by themselves, but they have been linked to crippling PC's with spyware even while the person has practicd safe internet browsing.
That site is pure BS. Look at the ratings next to the programs. If they're both "10/10", then why does no one recommend them to us? It's pure fraud.
When they have something like "Win" in the beginning, it spells fraud right there, because that's what malware programmers name things in a hurry to finish up their evilness.
I'm running four security programs, and did a fresh scan last night, and none picked up anything at all. Why should I believe that these programs found something that four other ones, which are pretty well known (Norton, STOPzilla, SpySweeper, and SpyBot: S&D), couldn't detect?
Don't fall for it.
<EDIT> Okay, no offense, but the only people who would fall for it would be ignorant people. I quote from that BS website:
Crappy malware site said:
Your system may be vulnerable to Beagle Virus! We recommend you DOWNLOAD
one of these security software programs to prevent further malware infections
The dangerous Beagle Virus computer virus activated February 2006 and has started destroying data on computers it has reached. The lethal virus, which has already infected over 1,000,000 computers in several countries, continues to spread rapidly over the Internet.
If something like that existed, you would've heard about it in the news. In addition to that, if it does exist, WinAntiVirus probably installs it right onto your computer.
