As the site haves a bad quality and looks scammy, i saw that they promote SpyHunter, SpyHunter is a known rogue antivirus that can totally change the configuration of your PC and wants you to pay for elimination of malware YOU dont have.
So, here you have: pcthreat.com is the brother of ***** but without malware inside.
***** = SpyHunter VT Analysis
***** = pcthreat.com VT Analysis

Pcthreat is a website that gives tutorials on how to remove viruses manually.
Pcthreat uses enigma's software, SpyHunter. You can download it from their website, which i don't recommend.
SpyHunter does detect viruses and everything, but you have to pay to get rid of it all.
Overall, its OK to visit , however don't download SpyHunter. Stick to manual removal or AVG.

PC Threat is a website that gives informative information of Malware threats such as Rogue Security Software, Trojan Horse, and furthermore. It provides pictures, videos, and removals (manually).
They distribute Engima Software's software, SpyHunter. You can find it on the main page of their website on HOT Downloads on the right side or if you click any contents, you will see a scanner if you click any contents. Both directs users to download and install SpyHunter.
I tried SpyHunter before on my virtual machine. It literally DOES DETECT REAL Malware in general, but it wants you to make a purchase if you want to remove it. It acts as every other rogue security software out there. There is no "Update" anywhere for it as well.
Overall, PC Threat's website is safe to visit to check the information, videos, pictures, and furthermore but STAY AWAY from the download and scans. DO NOT TRUST SpyHunter.

Very untrustworthy.

This website downloads SpyHunter, a rogue (fake) antivirus software. It is used to scare you into buying it and it does not do anything. They even show the name of the program on their own website. This is a full on scam and I recommend you do not visit this website.

What's not to love? Trojans, adware, and malware galore! Another Enigma Software clone, this one also attempts to scare users into downloading a virus-ridden program to "remove viruses and clean their PC". It's quite simple really, don't go to this site or trust anything by the publishers. Period.

SpyHunter n'est pas un programme malveillant, et ne pas un seul sypmthom, qui décrirait comme un. Le theam est passé des mois sur la prestation caractéristiques des produits de classe mondiale, et il est inutile d'en faire une application malveillante.
I found reliable information on a dangerous virus

There is only one software offered to our readers/visitors, and it is a reputable antispyware application. There are no malicious drive-by downloads whatsoever throughout the site.
Please correct your comment.
not good comments, but the website is very informative. I used free scan and it detected virus. it is not rogue, no scam

It's a legitimate website on computer malware, helping computer users to get rid of it. There's not scam or phishing whatsoever. I tried.

This site is good. it gives very clear instructions on malware, spyware, and viruses. It gives vert clear instructions on how to remove them also.
there looks to be ads on the page that could link to bad programs, but just dont be a fool and dont click them. Google often promotes bad programs but that doesnt have a bad rating,
stop being idiots
