[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 977818, member: 83059"] I mean, I can't guarantee it is safe, but what you're describing doesn't sound harmful so far. I think you're starting to see how VirusTotal can be both good and bad, especially with engines that mostly train themselves on VirusTotal, all it takes is one to flag a false positive before others start following suit. There was a controversy a while back where I believe Kaspersky would falsely flag things as malware on their VirusTotal engine to sabotage competitors, and it worked. [/QUOTE]
