This Removal Tool for Windows Express Help is not an Antivirus, It is a program designed to remove Windows Express Help and Windows Express Help only but may also remove some other malwares.
The differences between an Antivirus and a Removal Tool are :
- A Removal Tool is a Stand Alone Application so it does not need to be installed. You can remove the application once your system is clean.
- An Antivirus removes infected files and registry keys but a Removal Tool removes infected files, Windows malware's registry keys and restores any parameters altered by malicious softwares.
- Antivirus takes time to scan your computer but it only takes at the very most 20s for a Removal Tool to remove malware's files and registry keys and to restore your computer default parameters. That is because a Removal Tool is designed for one specific malicious program and it does not need to scan your computer. It knows exactly which files to remove and where they are located, which registry keys to restore or to remove.
- All Removal Tools from http://www.net-studio.org are free and free from virus but be aware, most of the time, security programs are most of the time treated by other security programs as malicious softwares, for instance Norton Antivirus is treated by Avast as a malicious software and some of our Removal Tools are treated by some Antivirus programs as Probably Unknown Virus. That is because a Removal Tool removes malicious registry keys and removes malware's files.
You can trust in us and our programs, our goal is to fight against those people who want to harm your system or to scam you and we will NEVER NEVER NEVER be one of them.
