Question

My Anti-Virus Program says that PickMeApp contains a virus, trojan, malware.

no, PickMeApp does not contain any virus or trojan, malware or adware.
It is a false positive alarm , mainly, due to usage of NSIS library.

What makes PickMeApp unique from other transfer solutions available?

PickMeApp is a unique administrative tool to manage all aspects of the Windows software life cycle: Discovering, downloading, installing, running, upgrading, terminating, removing, capturing and transferring applications, with just a few clicks!

Which programs does PickMeApp work with?

The great thing about PickMeApp is that it works with almost any Windows application you have, or you will have on your computer. Examples of programs successfully transferred by PickMeApp include Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Acrobat, Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Picasa, and many games. You can consult a list of more than 16000 programs tried out with PickMeApp at this link:  programs tried out with PickMeApp.

However, it's important to note that for some applications, an additional framework such as Java, .NET, or runtime C++ distributable should be installed separately prior to transfer. Also, some applications are a suite of applications and require all parts of the suite to be transferred in order to work properly. ( see  Installing Applications)

The free PickMeApp Installer can also be used to analyze installed software programs for supportability, more information about it is available at this link:  6.7. Analyze installed software programs | PickMeApp

It is important to ensure that the programs from the original PC may also run on the operating system installed on the destination PC. PickMeApp is compatible with Windows XP SP3 and up.

Please be aware that PickMeApp does not modify your applications in any way, it cannot make an application incompatible with Windows to run on Windows.
