the program takes control over the browser Internet Explorer to verify that the captchas have been completed correctly and sometimes to clear history and cache of the browser. does it have something to do with the detection of virus?

If that is true and it uses hooks in windows then that would most likely flag it as a virus even though potentially it could be non-malicious.

It is most likely a false alarm. The behavior of the program is much like from other malwares. Programs with attaching/hooking, overriding or taking control of a browser or application behaviors will most likely detected even if it is technically safe.
But we can't be sure until we decompile the program. There are true malwares today that can't be dected like what I've just encountered last month, it changes the wallet address in clipboard.
Just to be safe, run it on a virtual environment or install a Deep Freeze.

I think it's just a false alarm, after several days of working still my laptop works fine. I think the browser is wrong because last night I downloaded other application and it showed failed and virus detected later on when I tried to download it again then it was successful.

i've had the same question; never brought it up to PC thought!
i'm using a spare laptop, running security essentials and spybot, and no personal info so i dont care much!
(no other windows machines on my network either to worry about.)
after every session i'd leave the laptop on and scan with both softwares so far nothing other than regular payments Huh

Which program you are talking about?
I also opened a program today from services section and my browser automatically stops and all data cache are cleared up??
Which program you are talking about?

PeerChecker.exe

I think that it is only a false positive by what I mentioned them before.

You really should strip out the link if you think it is hosting a virus or malware, a few innocent people might click through without thinking. Nobody should download from links they don't know, even to do a virus scan on it.

I did a virus scan at first and then it was fine, but a week later I get many virus alerts. I looked in my regedit and looked up the possible infected things, which i found online but it did not find anything, so I hope I am safe.

google drive scans files for virus when they're uploaded...

But when I try to download it blocks the software automatically by my browser.
So I don't know if it's a browser is giving false information.

Looks like it's got HEUR/QVM03.0.Malware.Gen, whatever that means.

At some point PC0316 seems to have posted the link in the thread (quoted by another user below) but now the post is gone.

Okay, how am I going to see if I have that virus on my pc?
I ran this software a week ago, but removed it. Now I wanted to re install it and it gives many virus alerts.

Can u tell me how I can see if I am infected?
