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

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?

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:

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.

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.

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.

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!
