    True plastidust, nothing on Jotti as well on the set-up file. In Op's case, looks AVG flagged on execution. Happens!
    Installed and ran the app on Avast v5 here, no issues. Since this is offered on MG's- FP as you say. :)

    Cheers..

    Yup, don't think MA would be doing a video tutorial on how to use a piece of malware, or make it available for download.

    When I download from MG's, if the file gets flagged during download or later during execution, my first(and only) question is what the 'L is the matter with my security app. Although sometimes it's understandable given the nature of some files.

    AVG is no longer recommended by MajorGeek. You might consider replacing it.
