Well, what d'you all reckon about this VirusTotal scan result on this
"toolbar.exe" file, being distributed with software from a major application
software house ?

Some say it's, in as many words "nasty," and other say it's harmless !!

regards, Richard

ATTENTION: VirusTotal is a free service offered by Hispasec Sistemas. There
are
no guarantees about the availability and continuity of this service.
Although
the detection rate afforded by the use of multiple antivirus engines is far
superior to that offered by just one product, these results DO NOT guarantee
the
harmlessness of a file. Currently, there is not any solution that offers a
100%
effectiveness rate for detecting viruses and malware.
