Just to post, again, the stupid tactic of Symantec to sell their products releasing their on demand scanning (Norton Security Scan) as a scareware. Any other antivirus running in the computer is marked as a security threat!
They could, at least, say your computer is running ok.
The button goes to a sell page of Symantec.
Shame!

Scaring people is not the way to go. Unfortunately is effective… :-X
@ Tech
Excuse You, could You tell me what kind of antivirus Norton Security Scan marked as a security threat because this pictures are in language that I do not understand ?
It install quietly “only” when you accept while install adobe product. (eg. Shockwave, Flash Etc.)
I can’t install in English as it detected my language and install it.
The threat is something like this:
“Your computer is vulnerable”
It was not detected any security program.
Other good products will say my computer is clean and nothing is a threat.
But Symantec is scareware!
Thanks for the information Tech.
Shame on Symantec, Scaring the end user just for money.
Hello Tech, my old friend. Thanks for the info; this is typical Norton marketing strategy we have unfortunately seen before, and one more reason not to use Norton’s products. May be a good example of corporate America gone bad.
Michael Moore had a point in Bowling for Columbine when bringing to light the hypothesis about the USA being a culture of fear: Beyond a Culture of Fear .
Rectifying the information.
The latest version of Norton Security Scan is NOT a scareware.
It just detect three false positives, but this is not being scareware.
I’ll change the thread title.
By the way, two of the false positives are from Comodo Cleaning Essentials.
