People can take the so-called registry scan by it to check the condition of their computers. All the things make it like a legitimate and trustworthy program for people to download and utilize. But the real character of it can be totally opposite. It has nothing to do with the system security, on the contrary, it is a kind of computer threat that we can call it rogue antispyware. What it can generate on the computer is not to protect the system but damage it.
