Window Task manager (Anvir replacement)

Norton...Mmmmm The genuine AnVir.exe file is a software component of AnVir Task Manager by AnVir Software.
AnVir.exe is an executable file that belongs to AnVir Task Manager, a utility software the lets users monitor system processes and services, as well as Internet connections, CPU usage, disk usage and more. This is not an essential Windows process and can be disabled if known to create problems. AnVir Task Manager is available as a free and a paid version. The free version lets users monitor often hidden components such as drivers, locked files, hidden processes, windows and DLL files, as well as CPU and GPU core temperatures, external USB drives, SSD drive health and more. The program can permanently block unwanted processed from being run. The program can also be used to analyze processes, startup programs and Windows services. AnVir Software is an American software company that develops system utility programs primarily for the Windows platform. The company was founded in 2002.

Some malware camouflages itself as AnVir.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder,so maybe Norton thinks this?...
maybe others on here can throw some light on the subject,but must admit this is the FIRST I am aware of it being flagged as BAD?

This program is over 10 years old, it was a Giveaway of the Day back in December 2007. It did not get glorious reviews at that time, 51% thumbs up vs 49% thumbs down.
Even though it is a 10 year old link you might want to read some of the comments there:

In looking for information on this company, Anvir, I really could find nothing until I finally found the Contact Us information which leads you to Avangate. Who is Avangate?

Very interesting:

What is Avangate?


Now I don't know if iolo really has anything to do with this product but I could find no information about the Anvir company.

Think you misunderstood my posting of the GAOTD link. I posted it because that was the only link that had more than two comments on it. I never said it had not ever been updated, obviously I knew there were updates since Everton noted that there was a brand new one in her post.
Sorry but I am always concerned when the top search results for a program result in only the download page of the program, but no information or link to the company that produces it, and the 3rd party download pages with reviews are Download.com, Softonic, Softpedia. The only one I might trust would be Major Geeks and there are only two comments there and they are over two years old.

I am not saying don't use it, just giving the results of what I found when searching.

Above is a link to the 2016 GOTD page along with a heap of comments/opinions.

This is the version I have.

I believe what it boils down to is at the beginning of this thread by bazcaz "The task manager that comes bundled with Windows by default should be enough for most people but others, mainly power users, will definitely prefer something like Anvir Task Manager."
For myself I don't think I need or even understand the more powerful Task Manager, but understand that many people do.

I have had this program on my pc since May 2016 and Avast has never flagged it as suspicious. I did a full deep scan within the last 48 hours and it returned zero problems.
I downloaded the new exe file and scanned it independently with Avast as I had done also with my installed exe file- no issues found with either .Then I ran the new one through the links provided by jholland1964 and there were very few reports from the many scans done - two on separate sites were from Dr Web, an anti virus company based in Moscow.

I would have thought maybe the MS Malicious Software Removal Tool that downloads with every Windows Update should have discovered anything suspicious.
I have always trusted the opinions of How-To Geek and I think that is where I first saw it recommended years ago when I had my old XP machine, long before the GOTD version I now have.

I have decided to keep my original version 8.1.2 just in case I ever need it because I think if it were going to cause any problems it would have done so by now

Interestingly my version has the option to scan any suspicious file with virustotal - just the one issue out of 68 scans and that is the Dr Web one.
