toolbar / ad / ware installer...opinions on VirusTotal CLS's results pelase :-) ?

R

RJK

I just posted the below and it got instantly zapped and "Message no longer
available on the Server" ??? !!!

The Subject line I used was:-
"Toolbar / Ad/ware installer...opinions on VirusTotal CLS results please
:)"

....perhaps that got it "zapped"


Well, what d'you all reckon about this VirusTotal scan result on this
"toolbar.exe" file, being distributed with software from a major application
software house ?

Some say it's, in as many words "nasty," and other say it's harmless !!

regards, Richard
