Like so many other programs that PC World doesn't check out thoroughly, MP3 Rocket shows up on many antivirus/antispyware programs as malware, and opens windows for other malware. I had to clean a client's computer twice, because she insisted it was ligitimate. Consequently, I don't trust the

As I just noted on the talk page, this app comes bundled with malware. If there was a tag for flagging articles on malware apps and websites, and policy to back placement of the tag, I wouldn't be proposing this be deleted, but there isn't, so I am, per IAR. Open to other ideas.

It's a three-day old file. It would be not surprising if some of the AV programs aren't up to speed. Trend Micro is hardly a minor player. Does anybody dispute that we need a tag for flagging articles on malware apps and websites, and policy to back placement of the tag?
362:
I should also note that 7/68 detections, most of which are from what I would consider to be fairly minor AV programs, and some of which are generic warnings that are typical of false positives, is far from being persuasive that this app actually has any malware in it.
284:- nomination for invalid reason. While the article sourcing is poor, and an argument could be made on the grounds of notability, whether or not software has malware connections is not a valid reason. Knowledge (XXG) has many articles on malware, viruses, etc.

as no reason advanced for deletion. If it is notable and well-documented that it comes bundled with malware then that should be mentioned in the article, but we fortunately don't have a policy of deleting things on wikipedia just because they are bad.

406:
But it's not malware? Sure, it might not be. Though it triggers other AV apps heuristics too, if you try to install/run it. If I'm wrong and it doesn't come with PUP or worse malware, I apologize for overreacting.

Are those not on the defunct software from the company before it started from scratch as a YouTube downloader trojan purveyor? (The former isn't, but the latter seems to be a hybrid.) But look at this comment at the
