SecurityCheck.exe, from spywareinfoforums - good? safe?

Is this product, SecurityCheck.exe, good and it is safe?  I just downloaded it, and Norton File Insight said it is safe, Internet Explorer shows a Red Shield message saying, "... could harm your computer".  I already ran a scan on this file using Norton Internet Security and Malwarebytes and no problems were found.  I'm really interested in what any users of members can tell me about this product, SecurityCheck.exe.  I did a web search and found no discouraging information about it.

Hi,

I don't have any experience with this program but I must warn you that if it has a real time scanner there will be conflicts and possible crashes if it runs on a system which already has a Norton product active.

The red shield is from windows and seems to come with almost any .exe file you download. If you know what you are doing it can be ignored.

The best rule of thumb is "only one real time scanner security program at a time". If you are going to test out the program use the Norton Removal Tool to eliminate the possibility of conflicts with your new program. Then be sure to use their removal tools to eliminate conflicts when you reinstall your Norton product.

Keep us in the loop
