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.

I've decided to disassemble the human genome. It gotta be easier than
trying to follow your train of thought.

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.

Whaaat!! I'm not interested in what the developer tells me.

He/she has to sort it out with the anti virus vendors. I'm interested in
what they tell me.

I know, it's far too logical for you.

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.
