Riskware is not strictly speaking malware. Riskware programs perform some useful but potentially dangerous
functions.
Examples of riskware programs are:
•
programs for instant messaging, such as IRC (Internet Relay Chat),
•
programs for transferring files over the Internet from one computer to another,
•
Internet phone programs, such as VoIP (
Voice over Internet Protocol
),
•
Remote Access Software, such as VNC,
•
scareware, which may try to scare or scam individuals into buying fake security software, or
•
software designed to bypass CD checks or copy protections.
If you have explicitly installed the program and correctly set it up, it is less likely to be harmful.
If the riskware is installed without your knowledge, it is most likely installed with malicious intent and should
be removed.
