False Antivirus. Virus that infect your PC and steal your private info *****

This seems to be a good software developer as far as I can tell. Product works very well and the customer support (considering the software product is independent free-ware) is excellent. The poor ratings that others have given YAC maybe purchased harassment of the company. The Yet Another Company outfit seems good to me and the poor ratings seem totally bogus.

They steal definitions and the engine from Malwarebytes Corporation. Why using a poorly made copy when you can have the original? *****

YAC looks like a nice professional cleaning tool, but it really just pretents to actually do somethings (yac always finds something to clean, while cccleaner says everything is fine, it is not clear to me what yac is actually doing all the time) But in reallity: yac installs unwanted programs that are hard to remove and takes over controll over you computer. After a while advertisement shows up, and the search engine of your browser gets locked. That is only what i discovered. Edit: Dear Elex Brazil: It is sweet of you to accuse me of mis-operating your program, but I can guarantee you that I didn't. I downloaded yac from your website (yac.mx) and used it on three different computers just because it looks so professional. I first liked that it seemed to do so much, but then got suspicious after I recognized that it would always find some magical things to do and to clean while my other cleaning tools (like ccleaner) wouldn't find anything. After a few days of not thinking about it, I recognized on all three computers that several days after I installed your program weird things, like the change of the browser search bars happened, and new programs occurred that I have never even heard before. I googled your program and found that many other people had similar problems as me. And finally when I deinstalled it, I found your program magically reinstalled on my computer two days later. Forcing me to use advanced tools like adwcleaner, jrt and malwarebytes and to delete my hidden files in my users folder. The “uncertified download platform” website you are refering to is your own, and that is the reason why I commented on it here on WOT. Non the less, thank you for inviting me to try out your latest version of YAC. However, I was quite happy with the old one, as it made it possible for me to see that it is a virus. I am not very interested in trying out a new version that might hide this fact better. Greetings P

Dear Purban, Thanks for your information and sorry for the inconvenience yac brought to you. In fact every time you surf the Internet, browser caching generates and yac will clean caching. If you do not want to clean the caching, just deselect the check box. As I know yac is not bound with any third-party programs and will not install programs either. However, some uncertified download platforms will add programs in our installation packets and bring trouble to you. Please tell us where you download the product, and we will investigate this issue thoroughly. For the browser and search engine, we do provide related functions. However, you can set them as will. Some users consider yac blocked their browser and search but all these are resulting from misoperation. Now, we promote this function and all the interface are clearer. You can take a look at it. If you have more question and comments on yac, you can directly contact us at usersupport@yac.mx. Elex with regards
Yac works perfectly on my computer without any problems. None of my antivirus programs found anything wrong with the software, and it are making my computer faster.

Dear HL189AT, I reply you in the forum, please check it. Also, thanks for your kindly reply. We will try our best to improve our product. Elex
Not sure about this site. Brazilian company, Mexican server. Products may be classed as PUP rather than malware. I wouldn't say the site or its products are harmful but others are cautious, and that's my view too.

My computer becomes a mess as time goes by. After installed with YAC, it just came back to life. All the junk files, plug-ins and adware are gone with wind. Now, I became a computer expert with only one fix tool, that is, YAC!
