View Full Version : Whats the reputation of threatexpert?
What is threatexpert like? Is it an online run?? Is it safe? Should we disable other antivirus or other antimalware/antispyware programs on our computer to run this.

One of the reports of threatexpert says:
The following Registry Keys were deleted:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Zone.ClientM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Zone.ClientM\CLSID
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Zone.ClientM\CurVer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Zone.ClientM.1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Zone.ClientM.1\CLSID
Although this is not my report, just a report i found online, does it mean Zone.ClientM and Zone.ClientM.1 are dangerous?
The report is here:

(Asking because i too see Zone.ClientM and Zone.ClientM.1 in my registry).
