There are many such examples. :)

RegClean Pro & Advanced System Protector
Again there are many such examples. :)
On another note please take a look at this sticky topic: Registry Cleaners, not recommended
Kind regards.

I await your answer sir/madam!
Hello thebossman,
As shown in the links provided one issue people reported was that indeed it found problems other applications didn't. ;)Quote:

However you posted in the false positives forum.

Kind regards.
FYI for any user, there are various ransom malware infections purporting to be from the FBI.
Note:

Once infected, the victim’s computer immediately locks, and the monitor displays a screen stating there has been a violation of federal law.
In which case please see the Malware Removal Forum sticky which includes guidelines and instructions in post #2 on how to provide the preliminary DDS and aswMBR logs used for analysis.Quote:
Be aware that even if you are able to unfreeze your computer on your own, the malware may still operate in the background.

Then start a new topic as shown in that FAQ along with a description of the computer's symptoms and a volunteer analyst will assist when available.
If the infection prevents you from running DDS and/or aswMBR please start a topic and make note of the situation, provide details of the computer's current symptoms and wait for a response.
Best regards.
