FJ Software

@dinosnake:
Then I took the exact same installer and used it to install MPE on a brand new installation of Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64. WHAM! Automatic background installs of StrongVault and Football News. Twice! Ran installer, got the program plus the malware, uninstalled all [three] apps, ran ...

I would just like to add a comment on this which I hope will be helpful:

The intentionally (officially) bundled software has been implemented in an intentionally deceptive way which could have a very negative impact on the perception of MPE.
What I am referring to is that the "cancel" and "decline ...

I have found the problem.

The problem is not directly with FJ Software's MyPhoneExplorer, but is due directly to a choice made by FJ in regards to MyPhoneExplorer.

In order to monetize the install, FJ has decided to include Win32/InstallMonetizer from Installmonetizer.com. This program, according ...

I just did the same scan using the same tool you mentioned. My scan only found 1 threat,

Win32/InstallMonetizer

in the MyPhoneExplorer installer itself.

A Google search shows that both Win32/InstallMonetizer.AH and Win32/DownloadAdmin.A.Gen shows that both are ad wrappers for the installer ...

I just installed MyPhoneExplorer today, flawlessly, from the version 1.8.4 that I downloaded here. There were absolutely NO problems with it. No Malware, not even any attempts at loading any other types of software as TheLandYacht shows in his posts. I got it up and working perfectly with my Wifi ...

It happened to me too.
Manually deinstalled both StrongVault and football news. Football news still tries to launch on boot.

Make sure that the Football News directory is completely deleted from your Program Files / Program Files (x86) subdirectory, then use Regedit to delete the startup keys ...

Rather than assume that the software is suspect from the result of one user's experience, I have to assume that either your system was already hijacked...or the installer you got was not from FJ and had been altered.

Err, no. If you bother to do more research than a quick overview, you will find ...

Never from any place else.

So. Google results simply using two search words "strongvault" & "myphoneexplorer". A grand total of 15 results. Of those, 8 aren't in english, so I don't know what they're about. Of the others, all but one seem to be exact quotes of a single post about strongvault...or quotes of your own post. I ...

Oops, my mistake. I must be seeing things.

Or maybe you should just pay more attention to what you're doing?

Would you like me to make a video to PROVE that this is not what you see ...

If you Google as I suggested, you will find that they are NOT optional. The third-party packages install fully automatic without permission.

Which is exactly what happened to me.

It is interesting to note, however, that the packages did not install, nor even prompt for installation, under WinXP. I ...

The latest versions of MyPhoneExplorer seem to be infected with unwelcome installers. My guess is that the servers have been hacked.

When you install MyPhoneExplorer you will also get a full, unwelcome and unauthorized auto install of StrongVault and a "Football News" app.

This is NOT an isolated ...
