[QUOTE="Callender, post: 260778, member: 26691"] It contains the installer for Open Candy as shown by scanning the download link. If further proof is required I downloaded the file and scanned it. If I run the installer it will install cleanly on my machine but other users will find that Open Candy has been installed. If you noticed the first screenshot clearly shows a scan of the download link from the [B]Author's Site[/B]. You know that you have to run the installer to become infected - right? Not just simply download the file!: [ATTACH=full]20825[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
