The odds of two developers making the same mistake in rendering the word 'virus' with a capital V are downright astronomic.īut coincidence seems to abound here. The odds of two developers using the same exact wording are long.
Where the developer makes clear its intention "to provide you with the ultimate in Virus detection and protection capabilities".
Yet it's not the first time I've heard it, as a visit to the website of Qihoo 360 Technology, China's single biggest security specialist readily confirms: The ultimate? That's a heck of a claim to make. "a quality software client designed to provide you with the ultimate in Virus detection and protection capabilities".
How masterful is 'Malware Hunter Pro 1.48'? The product is, according to Glarysoft's website: There's nothing wrong in being a jack-of-all-trades, but being a master of none when it comes to security software can have potentially serious consequences for the user. Where today's giveaway is concerned, its Chinese developer is very obviously not an antivirus / anti-malware specialist: Registry Repair, Quick Start, Duplicate Cleaner, Disk Explorer, Undelete, Tracks Eraser, all these and more are in its product portfolio. As time has gone by, traditional antivirus specialists have also moved into the so-called anti-malware sector - so-called, because after all, a threat is a threat is a threat: the days when "a virus" was the only thing to worry about have long gone.
Were one to look for a developer whose provenance ticks all the boxes posed by the above questions, Malwarebytes immediately comes to mind. Look, instead, into the developer's background: does it have proven, specialist expertise in the field? Does it directly employ, or call upon, the services of a large research staff to maintain a minute-by-minute updated threat database? Never mind the claims that might be made for it. Knowing the provenance of any security software before installing it is of vital importance to every computer user.
