Rogue security software and PUP. Not only does this system claim to clean your system but instead clutter it with junk, it has actually stolen technology from Malwarebytes!
The company Elex, had copied Malwarebytes's database and claimed it as their own. I wouldn't have a program that steals other companies' hard earned work. I don't recommend downloading this. #databasestealer

OPSWAT posted a blog post that describes their interest in investigating our claims of YAC stealing our definition database and have decided, after their own investigation, to pull their certification from YAC.
to discover that not only do they detect our fake malware but also use the same, unprofessional and misspelled detection name.
A t the beginning yac see,ed like it had taken over my machine. defo PUP. hOWEVER I DID A BIT (LOT) OF READING AND REALISED YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING WITH IT. ALLOW IT TO RUN RAMPANT BLOCKING THINGS, QUARANTINING THINGS AND GENERALLY JUST BEING THE ACTUAL ADMIN INSTEAD OF YOU THEN I COULD UNDERSTAND THE NEGATIVITY HOWEVER, IF YOU (I KNOW, I KNOW) TAKE 5 0R 10 MINS TO READ THE HELP FILES THAT ARE INSTALLED YOU'LL SOON FIND OUT HOW TO GET IT DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT IT TO AND NOT A BIT MORE. cOUPLE OF MINOR QUIBBLES - EVEN IF YOU DO EXIT A COUPLE OF ISAFE,EXE PROCESSES LINGER AND I'M ALMOST SURE I READ THIS WAS TOTALLY FREE FOREVER. OR MAYBE THAT WAS BAIBU. ANYWAY MY TRIAL IS ENDING SOON AND THEY'VE GIVEN ,ME A PRETTY SIMPLE TASK TO XTEND IT FOR A FEW WEEKS. BASICALLY, NO SUBSTANTIAL COMPLAINTS HERE. WEB BROWSERS (ALL OF THEM DON'T LIKE YAC THO_ IF THAT MATTERS TO YOU - JUSTINIUS23
This site is the official site of YAC, which is a rogue piece of software that stole malwarebytes database. They are pretty much mocked by real security companies.

this site appears to warn against using ***** sandboxing software. WOT warns against this site, and I have previously trusted cameyo - so I'm inclined to agree, that this site is not to be trusted.
It is a good and useful software, I meet some virus issue when I traveled abroad.I turned to the user support for help and they helped me remove all the malicous in a short time.I will keep being a fan of this product.Thank you!
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.
I randomly saw it working in the background, problem is i had never installed program from them, so this is unwanted program i now try to find a way to remove it
