Ratings and reviews

Used this app to test Microsoft Defender. This app (and Defender!) both work perfectly! As soon as you install this, your AV app should say that it has detected a malicious threat and offer to remove it for you. Your reaction might be "Yikes! I've downloaded malware!" Relax, you haven't! Unlike the Trojan files (named after the 'horse') used to enter unprotected systems and unleash the malware they contain, the F-secure 'trojan' is like an empty box with a horse drawn on it. It's safe! 👍

So my antivirus app detected a multitude (most Ive ever seen from 1 app, 50+) of malware on this one. Is it supposed to be like that? Is that part of its gyst? I remember when LuckyPat used to be flagged but not to this extent. Good 'ol LuckyP! Miss that app like u wudnt believe.

my paid subscription to AVG caught it immediately, I conducted the free version manual scan with Malwarebytes and it caught it. Then the free version manual scan using Anti Spy and it caught it at the 96% complete smart scan level. so yup. thanks y'all for this test. 👍🏻
