Orbitech Malware Scan?

Have anyone tried Malware Scan by Orbitech?
http://www.orbitech.org/malwarescan.html

I did a quick search here but found nothing.

I haven't heard of it before today so I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone tested it...

 

Haven't heard of it before reading your post.
It's free and there is a screenshot.
It does say that the program has Real Time Protection.

I can't find anything on Orbitech at Spyware Warriors.
I may take a look at it if I can determine whether that it's clean.

 

The release date is Sept.6, 2007 according to Freeware Files website.
I got a Google warning on the link in a Google Search that led to Softpedia.
Downloaded it from Orbitech and it's small,385kb.

I'll take it for a test drive and report back on it.

 

I ran the mscan through virustotal and it came back with 4 hits. Also, there is no privacy policy listed at orbitech which is a concern. And the "contact" is listed as a hotmail account. I would stay away from this program, but that's just me.

File mscan.exe received on 09.16.2007 07:07:35 (CET)

Result: 4/32 (12.5%)

Virustotal scan removed as they are not allowed here at WSF,

Same VT results here.

 

Maybe this is a new way hackers have found to infect others, creating fake security app, or it could just be another security app.

Wouldn't trust it personally.

 

I tried to install the program in Sandboxie's sandbox.
It wouldn't be compatable with my pc anyway.It needs Net framework.

 

It is interesting, that it uses XP's icons (based on the screenshot), it looks like garage made, I would not risk to try it, at least because it is new, so its signature database will be small anyway. By the way Softpedia marked it as 100% Clean, so I am really looking forward for someone, who is going to give it a try for real.

 

The "Total Orbit Browser" exe also was flagged 4 times at virustotal. But the "Image Filter" exe came back clean.

 

This one is a first for me as well...

Anyone tried testing it's detection capabilities yet?

 

Mmmmh... funny you mentioned this... Have you ever visited this site:

http://www.2-spyware.com/corrupt-anti-spyware It's packed with nice info on those nasties.

 

Thanks for the site, first time i visit it and it's very informative indeed.

 

Yeah, thx for the link HC - probably a useful complement to SpyWareWarriors.

...and thx for the replies. I'll stay clear from the app until I hear it's safe. I don't dare to meddle with unkown, untested security apps.

cheers

Who cares about these new scanners anyway? It´s not like they are going to outperform any of the well known scanners.

Me neither, at least not on my new machine.
