No it is absolutely false claim,
Quickheal is a big MNC dedicated to security suite, they have Headquarter in Pune, India. And I am staying in Pune, so I know that;)

That site is questionable itself.

Heres the official site
Quick Heal (http://www.quickheal.co.in/)
It is an Antivirus Company from India (Pune) specified by sourav_gho
Have a look at Here (http://www.quickheal.co.in/about.asp)

BTW from where did you download the setup file ???

Here you are my friend.. here is the link for downloading quickheal:;)
http://www.quickheal.co.in/downloads.asp

It looks to me like 2-spyware.com is basing that opinion on two false positives.

[simisg]

i have download from the same site you say http://www.quickheal.co.in/downloads.asp try to install this with comodo or kaspersky and you will see..........
and i know that quick heal is from an old respect company from India thats why ask?

[lordpake]

That's clearly a false positive. Trojan detection in other security software is not that uncommon, considering what that software usually does.

I take it you have notified for example Kaspersky about this detection?

2-spyware.com
It's a dubious site according to quite a few observers.

According to their site it's checkmark certified and also it has received VB100 awards,definitely not a rogue.

Let's analyze the site's statements:
-{ Quote: "
At first glance, it looks like a regular antivirus program, however the first sign of a fraud is that Quick Heal AntiVirus Plus 2009 installer downloaded from it's homepage contains a trojan virus.
" }-
This, in itself might be a problem, but it also can happen if the antivirus site was compromised by a hacker for instance. This is not a good thing for an antivirus company, but also it's not unheard of... Other well known antivirus sites were hacked, that doesn't mean their product were rogue software.

-{ Quote: "
What is more, this software is advertised on various untrusted and suspicious websites.
" }-
That proves nothing. What do they mean by suspicious and untrusted? No evidence is provided to support their accusations. Even more, what if i host a "suspicious" site (whatever that means), and I decide to advertise Quickheal to earn some extra cash? That means the product I support is malware/rogue? I don't think so.

-{ Quote: "
Don't download and install Quick Heal AntiVirus Plus 2009 onto your computer, because it might install trojan virus or download additional parasites like spyware and malware.
" }-
Another unsubstantiated accusation. No traffic logs, screenshots or other proof was provided, just an affirmation.

[andyman35]

It may well be listed on some dubious download sites but it's also on the likes of Techrepublic and download.com

[RejZoR]

QuickHeal is a legit program. It may not be the best and its track record is crappy, but it's clearly not a rogue.

There is no way MS would chose a rogue company as its antivirus provider.

There are those that would say that MS itself is a rogue company.:P

Tell me about it! They wanted me to pay for getting support, I should be getting for free, because they mess up things in their own system, which I paid for!
