Uniblue (liutilities.com) can be misleading
« on: February 19, 2010, 12:40:59 PM »
This is just my opinion on this issue but here's two examples where their site will say "DISABLE AND REMOVE <process name here>.exe IMMEDIATELY. This process is most likely a virus or trojan", when a valid process by that name exists and is needed for proper functioning in Windows systems:
csrss.exe - csrss process information
lsass.exe - lsass process information

I think they really ought to make their recommendations more clear where a valid process by that name does, indeed, exist in Windows.  I know they explain, in their narrative, that valid files by these names exist in Windows.  But then, they make a point-blank statement that the file should be removed without clearly saying they mean any process by that name which is found in a location other than where the valid file for Windows is located.

It's important to always read the entire article.

Always take note of the process location when trying to determine whether or not the process is genuine or malicious.This Windows component should be located in your Windows System directory ie: something similar to C:\Windows\System32\csrss.exe

But I do completely agree with you and so do many others. http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/liutilities.com

Hmm, interesting, thanks for posting that link. Lot of negative comments there. I still think it's a useful source of info but, as you say, "It's important to always read the entire article."  Otherwise, you could do the wrong thing and harm your computer.
