Anyone Know Where Novirusthanks Came From?

I just noticed that NoVirusThanks is installed, and I'm not sure where it came from. Research tells me it's not malicious, but I know I didn't install it (no need, because I use BitDefender), In my Add/Remove Programs menu, it's listed as "NoVirusThanks License Manager V1.5.2"

I assume this was bundled with something else I installed around that time, but not sure what. Or maybe snuck in through another programs updates? I'm VERY conscientious about this kind of thing. Here is the list of apps I know is associated with NoVirusThanks (that I know I didn't install either):

• OSArmor
• Win Update Stop
• USBRadar
• Connections Viewer
• MD5 Checksum Tool
• File Shredder Tool
• Pretty much anything on appsvoid.com

 

Just uninstall it.
And check your PC for malware.

 

I never heard of it so I went looking. (I don't install much so things don't have a change to hop on with something else.)
There is a 188 page thread starting in 2017 and continuing through 2023 in Wilder's Security.

Yeah, the only thing I know I've done with Wilder is the Sandboxie forum, which I do use. But not sure how this could have hoped on my system. Still scratchin my head on that one.

 

UPDATE:

So, at risk at embarrassing myself, I'm gonna post this anyway so others can find it helpful (and to not cause confusion). Looks like I did install this...back when I used Registry DeleteEx. I had completely forgot about it, and only used it for like 10 minutes (and uninstalled it when it didn't work for what I needed). Luckily, Revo Uninstaller keeps a backup up of all removed reg data. I sorted by date and checked Christmas eve. And there it was.

So, thanks and sorry for not remembering!

 

Thanks for posting.

It is very easy to not remember what you installed. I don't install much but every once in a while, I come across something that doesn't look familiar. Then I go hunting to see what it is and if I really want it.
