    How come this is posted on MG?

    My antivirus (Eset Smart Security) didn't pick it up but luckily I have SuperAntiSpyware Pro as a 2nd wall of defense and it caught it right away.

    I have sent it to Eset for analysis but just though I would spread the word perhaps you need to contact the developer and temporarily remove it from the main page as it could spoil MG's reputation.

    I see, well mind you, Eset Smart Security which I am running also did not detect it as anything. It's just SuperAntiSpyware pro which is not supposed to catch viruses, but Trojans.

    Not trusting it anyway here.....
