Maybe 'Directory Opus' isn't a virus, but it's very hyped on Web. I'd not heard of it. It's obviously junky that's accumlated crud in its nearly 30 year history.
More proof that PC World reviews should be taken with a bucket of salt.
Certainly people wouldn't be installing it if Windows Explorer worked properly. Originally on NT 4.0 we kept the multi-pane Windows Filemanager of NT 3.5 and NT 3.51 (similar to Win3.x program). Windows Explorer still has unfixed bugs after nearly 30 years. The Win7 is poorer than XP/2003 and Win10 poorer still. Stupid defaults and daft features added, even adverts for some users.
However I'd ditch 'Directory Opus' and put up with Windows (File) Explorer as it is.
While I do mainly use Linux, I have XP, Win7 and Win 10 VMs on it and put Win10H22 on a spare recently repaired laptop. Despite being designed for Win10 and Win10 serial code in the 'bios' I can't disable the lock screen appearing if the laptop is idle. Account Settings > Sign in Options is a blank window.
I won't be installing 'Directory Opus'. I may install Word & Excel 2007 and the 3rd party classic Menu option I have on one of the VMs. I've loads of unused MS licences!
