System Defend Total Security 2011 v2.0 is a rouge (fake AV) and I would like people to post it on their websites or tell their friends.
And it would be great if there is someone that can get in touch with Cnet.com to say that System Defend Total Security 2011 v2.0 is rouge.
Why do I want this... Because over 420 people have download it (on cnet 420 have download it)
Thanks in advance

Response from Malwarebytes
After loading up and reviewing this application i find its not ticking enough box's for listing as a rogue.
This howebever constitues no form of endorsement for it either

Hey
Okey. Then look at their homepage and don't tell me that this page doesn't look strange and the AV looks like a rouge. The design is take from The setup itself is only 10Mb (even comodo's msi is 24Mb). If you look at "2." it will ask you to disable UAC (I find it strange don't you?).
here is the readme file
System Defend Total Security 2011 v2.0 Install Guide
1. Remove other antivirus application from your computer
2. Disable User Account Control (UAC) in control panel, In Windows 7 please setting UAC to 'Never Notify' Value I have never seen that a security suite asks you to do such thing. If someone finds it normal please correct me.
3. Install System Defend Total Security 2011 with setup.msi file
4. If System Require Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 Client, Please Install .Net Framework 4.0 Client from ".Net Framework 4.0 Client" Folder
5. Open System Defend Total Securit 2011 v2.0, Double Click 'System Defend Total Security 2011 v2.0' icon on desktop
6. Register Product, If you not have license key, please buy product form our website, our developer team will send license key to you e-mail account.

I am sorry that I am expressing myself this way but how the fuck can comodo labs see it as a Fake AV and not malwarebytes; I am quite sure comodo labs will not give FP or? I am thankful that you made topic there.
http://www.preedasoftware.com the homepage to System Defend Total Security 2011 v2.0
Can you post this link to them (that would malwarebytes). Thanks

I am quite sure comodo labs will not give FP or?
Why, is Comodo immune to False Positives ?
http://www.preedasoftware.com the homepage to System Defend Total Security 2011 v2.0
That page sure looks suspicious......are you sure it is the same program as on Cnet ?
-
I don't say they are immune but I don't think that labs can be that wrong. I haven't installed it on my computer so I can't say that it's the homepage but cnet says that's the homepage.
Thanks for the cooperation.

Thanks for the heads up Tenko, I also can no longer find it on C-net.

not first time (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=59750.msg503610#msg503610) preedasoftware.com puts rogue-like nonsense on Cnet.
