Too simple. I downloaded under linux. Opened it in archive manager. The exe that determines the processes in memory was clean. The updater file scored a 20/41 in virustotal, it sends far too much information, and is hacker-encrypted. Now why would I heavily encrypt an exe file, if all it does is send the version I'm using, and download updates (which should be OFF by default) nothing more ? I have no idea if/how the program runs under windows. Just delete the update exe file, you should be fine. []'s

Yes you did need to note the warning. Every responsible vendor notifies when their product pops one out. If they don't, then that's stoopid. My guess. You didn't even know about the warning. You ran it in the sandbox, then posted. -- that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

I'm interested in what they tell me. I know, it's far too logical for you. -- zakAT(a)pooh.the.cat - Sergeant Tech-Com, DN38416. Assigned to protect you. You've been targeted for denigration!

I realise /you/ believe you are as well equipped as teams of experts within anti malware companies, but you aren't. I have done the above on a couple of occasions. The developers sorted it out with the AV companies, and then told me when they had done so. Developers want you to report this kind of thing you dumbfuck. I see little difference between that, and reporting bugs, which I often do, and quite often work with the developers when they require more information. This is normal procedure. It's abnormal to go off, and *fix* it yourself. -- zakAT(a)pooh.the.cat - Sergeant Tech-Com, DN38416. Assigned to protect you. You've been targeted for denigration! |
