ContraVirus review
ContraVirus is a corrupt, poor performance spyware remover. It is a clone of the illegally distributed VirusBlast rogue and other notorious products.
We have carefully tested ContraVirus on several different computers including absolutely clean machines and PCs infected with spyware and adware parasites. Test results revealed that although the program does not produce false positives and actually identifies some malicious parasites, it cannot detect most widely spread threats and is definitely unable to protect user privacy and system security.
Full System Scan performed on a regular modern computer storing hundreds of gigabytes of various data does not take more than 5 minutes. The program does not check all the files, but searches only for known malware, which signatures are in its spyware definitions database. Quick Scan requires even less - only 10 seconds! As you know, currently, there is no such spyware remover capable of thoroughly checking the system so quickly. This means that ContraVirus cannot be trusted.
The application refuses to remove any parasites it finds and asks to register and purchase the full version. Some its components like SpyWall, Pop-Up Blocker, AntiSpam Filter and additional plug-ins are also disabled.
The program's spyware definitions database is outdated. Reference file has been released on June 25, while we have tested the product in December.
ContraVirus is a clone of VirusBlast. It has a similar interface and consists of analogous components.
The official web site is www.contra-virus.com.
DO NOT buy this product!
