It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

At 4:30, I've uploaded a similar-style of installer to VirusTotal and the majority of common AVs didn't have an detection for it. Just pointing this out.

I believe it's InstallIQ, but cannot be 100%. Spywar, what do you consider InstallIQ to be?

Do you have any VT report ? Take a look if ESET detects it as a PUP then as bunyip said it might be a PUP.

@sona I take it you're not an AVG fan. However, the last time I tried avast! against some Adware it failed to detect and allowed the PUP to be installed.

@spywar I don't have the sample used in the video, but the similarities look like InstallIQ Adware installer that I tested a few weeks ago.
