Bytefence Anti-Malware is not a virus; in fact, it is an anti-malware program developed by Byte Technologies. The main executable file, bytefence.exe, runs safely in the 'C: \ Program Files' subfolder upon installation.
However, what has tarnished this software's reputation is its distribution method to users. It often automatically installs alongside other software without user consent, which is the first annoyance. Second, uninstalling it becomes challenging and cannot be done in the usual way, causing frustration and leading users to perceive it as potentially harmful. Due to this distribution method, some security providers (Malwarebytes, eGambit, ESET-NOD32, etc.) have listed Bytefence as 'potentially unwanted software.'
