Sintharius 18 Report post Posted March 20, 2015 Because in many cases MyPC Backup is considered a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program), and one of Emsisoft's goals is to combat them If you do a Google Search you'll see a lot of links to guides on how to remove it. The main site also has a red reputation on Web of Trust, and with good reason. Hope this answers your question Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ejsheldon 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2015 "Sounds like" and "in many cases considered potentially unwanted" aren't specific answers. Waiting for a specific answer from Emsisoft - Is or Is Not MyPCBackUp a danger to me or my computer, and how so? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christian Peters 99 Report post Posted March 20, 2015 Hello, Is or Is Not MyPCBackUp a danger to me or my computer, and how so? This depends on the detection message you got. Can you please export the File Guard and Behavior Blocker logs in the section Logs and attach the logs to the topic?
