Is 'Loaris Trojan Remover' Something I should install?

[sambolou]

This [Loaris Trojan Remover] has been recommended by a friend.
Does anyone know of this service and should l pay to download and install it?

According to a lot of user reviews it's a scam program and is not good at all.
So, NO! Don't pay for it or install it.

Thanks for your response. Was wondering about this, though it has some positive reviews as well.

Still one of the informal 'gold standards' out there for getting rid of 'miscreant software', junkware, scamware, etc......

Thanks! Have malwarebytes already, but don't know if it works for Trojans.

MBAM works for about everything....including junk you likely should not have installed.....

Not in the habit of installing 'junk' onto my PC!

 

[mdd1963]

'Junk' often comes disguised as something good, however....or, recommended from a friend....or an 'add'....or visiting the wrog 'support' website during a search....

No one usually sets out to intentionally install 'junk/addware/malware/ransomeware'...

 

[mdd1963]

you can bet anyone peddling such junk was paid to do it...

No good reason to attempt to use some random shareware like Loaris.
