On my last to next boot HitmanPro.Alert notified me of an update that would be installed on the next system boot. When I rebooted ESET quarantined http://post.securestudies.com/packages/VR/PackageV.exe. ESET is calling that "Win32/Adware.MarketScore.A. application".
I noticed HitmanPro.Alert wasn't running like it should be. I checked and found its Start Menu shortcut is broken, and its Program Files folder is empty.
