malware
my mcafee antivirus is picking up a potentially unwanted program called prcviewer. Web searches give a lot of sites that talk about prcviewer but some of them look like sites that can potentially cause me to accidentally download a virus. I'm writing to Microsoft for answere regarding this unwanted program.1 person needs an answerI do too

It is potential unwanted software , which mean it might NOT harm you but it might make some changes in your PC without permission. Different Companies will do different things regarding to these thing. You could submit the file location to: https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Submission/Submit.aspx For Microsoft to analyze, however, if you know this program and want to use it then use it but if you have no idea or NOT trust it then remove it. It is what McAfee recommended: "McAfee(R) AVERT™ recognizes that this program may have legitimate uses in contexts where an authorized administrator has knowingly installed this application. If you agreed to a license agreement for this, or another bundled application, you may have legal obligations with regard to removing this software, or using the host application without this software. Please contact the software vendor for further information. " resource: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_137331.htm
