Was 2007 a good year?

Yes it was a wonderful year
Yes, but there is always room for improvement
Status quo
It was a challenge

Do not download this as it is not legitimate antimalware software .

I installed it on a fresh install and was warned that I had 4 serious threats in my system . This application asks the user to register (and pay for) malwarewarrior to both remove the false positives and even too receive updates .

Their home page also indicates that they have received awards from multiple websites , none of which have this software registered .

This rogue application was found almost a month ago but the download only began functioning today .

Hi Smile

I'm playing with it on my vm : also note the rather strange .exe location - the program installs in C:\Program Files\MalWarrior 2007 and the malwarrior.exe is located in C:\Documents and Settings\Malware\Application Data\Adsl Software Limited\MalWarrior 2007 (note that application data is a hidden folder)

Uninstalling via Add/remove programs will just delete the C:\Program Files\MalWarrior 2007 location, leaving intact C:\Documents and Settings\Malware\Application Data\Adsl Software Limited\MalWarrior 2007
