Woo Utilities

A web site that is full is false information. The clever wording has fictional details about programs and errors on Microsoft Windows operating systems. For example, the Woo Utilities web site reports that Windows IsoPuzzle v1.6 Portable.exe is "a legitimate windows process used by many applications of Windows operating systems." In fact, the text fragment used to describe IsoPuzzle is also used to describe thousands of other executable of a wide variety of purposes and types. It is a automated description with no actual correlation to the executable mentioned. In this case, IsoPuzzle is a benign (perfectly safe) program, but is not part of Microsoft Windows. It is a 3rd party freeware application for recovering data from corrupted optical media.
Recommendation: Do NOT download and install Woo Utilities. Product is a scam. If you are a network administrator, block wooutilities.com in your network firewall.
