[QUOTE="struppigel, post: 1072530, member: 86910"] I am not seeing anything suspicious about the file. These comments from anonymous posters are the only thing that is phishy, but not one of them is from a person I know or trust (the malware analysis community is very small). The one person with high voting power has been consistently spamming "Malware" comments on VT with 0 detection rates and no explanation as how their verdict was made. This account is proof that the reputation system on VT does not work well to distinguish between experts an non-experts. It is more likely that the downvoters were enticed to do that after some misinformation that is publicly available or they did that because they were dissatisfied with the program itself. However, a program that is buggy or does not work well for its purpose it is not a reason for a malware verdict. [/QUOTE]
