 * Delete: PCMech could possibly be reliable considering PC World, PC Magazine, and the Wall Street Journal consider it so. There is no other good sources that I can find. SL93 (talk) 01:14, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. -- Joaquin008  ( talk ) 10:28, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per PCWorld, PC Advisor, Softpedia and tucows reviews linked to by vendor. Sad but true: the advertising budget of the vendor by far overwhelms our spam filters, and this known malware passes WP:GNG and WP:NSOFT. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 15:40, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Cleanup Comment - If its known malware, why does it not say so in the article? Right now, the discussion is to say that it wants you to get it. --Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 15:00, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Both the fact that this is a known malware and the article is promotional don't actually make this article viable for deletion. These problems can be solved by editing and protecting it. While I would love to see this deleted, we are supposed to make a policy-based decisions, and this time I see no way to delete it per any policy or guideline. In fact, the claim about the malware has wide coverage on forums and QA sites, but the sources we are supposed to use mostly rebut these claims. Marketing budget is a great tool for gaming the system without risk of being caught... &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 15:15, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Per rationale above by Dmitrij D. Czarkoff. Northamerica1000(talk) 07:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:Product and only (questionably) WP:Reliable source does not assert notability. --Tgeairn (talk) 02:27, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
