PC Bug Finder On Mac, Yeah Right...


By t-tech - Posted on 20 November 2008

PC Bug Finder is a Fake Scan

I know this should not bother me, but I HATE websites that scare the user into thinking they have something wrong with their machines.  UGH...  No wonder why end users don't know what to do.

Anyway, Macs don't have the same problems as PC do, so this so ridiculous  

  1. It is saying my Mac OS X is has Windows Spyware and Malware
  2. That it reports the exact same result no matter what machine you use.

Click on the image below of a screenshot of the "scan results" running on my Mac.

Norton Safe Web (https://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?name=pcbugfinder.com) says it is a "HTTP Fake Scan Webpage"

I don't think this site is harmful, but I would avoid www.pcbugfinder.com if you can.

It is amazing the number of websites that have this advertisement on it.  One thing for sure, is I WON'T!!!
