    I like this program, but...

    In last version NOD32 alarm:

    28.10.2008 14:27:45 Real-time file system protection file C:\Program Files\SIW\siw.exe probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan deleted - quarantined

    :confused

    Hi

    Just downloaded this and installed on my PC from this location http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4387.html and my Avast doesnt flag it.

    Maybe upload that siw.exe file here to scan with multiple virus scanners definition files to get an overall picture, but sometimes a new virus definition from a antivrius comapny can falsely flag a program ( false positive ) in this case I think thats whats happend with NOD32, so would hope they release an updated def soon.
