Needless to say, this is not a reliable security program/computer scanner, and you need to update it or remove it from the system as soon as possible. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, the faulty scanner lists setup_wm.exe as the malicious Trojan; however, in reality this file is harmless and represents the Microsoft Windows Media Configuration Utility.

Midicair Toolbar
If you have just installed Midicair Toolbar, you should know that this application is a Community Toolbar, which is owned by Conduit. The toolbar is also referred to as Top 10 Toolbar, and it is available at midicair.greattoolbar.com. We recommend that you remove Midicair Toolbar due to the fact that it promotes Conduit Search, which is regarded as an insecure search engine. Additionally, Midicair Toolbar can be attached to various free computer applicants that are available at different sources, which helps software publishers promote their products. As a result, if you do not want to try out the applications that are attached to the setup file of the program that you have downloaded, do not forget to read the terms of use and (un)tick particular boxes in order to prevent those extra programs.

Rogue:JS/FakeAlert
You need to keep the system protected against Rogue:JS/FakeAlert because this malicious threat could expose Windows backdoors and enable schemers to infiltrate malware onto your operating system. The clandestine infection acts as a backdoor itself as it corrupts HTML pages and displays fictional information. For example, the threat can activate a fictitious online scanner. If you land on this corrupted page, the fake scanner immediately starts examining your PC and then tries to convince you that you need to install a special program to remove all allegedly existing threats. Note that there are legitimate online scanners; however, this is a vulnerability that cyber criminals have employed to trick careless Windows users into infecting their own systems without even knowing it. All in all, having Rogue:JS/FakeAlert deleted is important and Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have analyzed the infection to assist you. Read more »
Adware:Win32/Addlyrics
Adware:Win32/Addlyrics is a irritating computer program which comes from the same group of spyware as FindLyrics Adware. Even though the program is supposed to provide you with lyrics search when watching YouTube videos, the main objective behind it is advertising. Anti-Spywre-101.com researchers have revealed that the application is supported through third-party advertisement which helps them generate profit. Whilst some advertisements are harmless and could even b used to acquire beneficial services, you should not click on any ads presented to you by the adware. Since the services of the program are money-driven, there is a possibility that some of the presented adverts are unreliable and possibly even controlled by cyber criminals. What would happen if you clicked on any corrupted ads? You could be routed to malicious websites, tricked into installing malware or spending money on worthless products. This is the main reason why we recommend having Adware:Win32/Addlyrics deleted. Read more »
