Super_Spartan 56 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yes there's nasty stuff to be found everywhere. hxxp://www.howtogeek.com/207692/yes-every-freeware-download-site-is-serving-crapware-heres-the-proof/ True, and this wasn't an FP: Another hit caught by AdGuard: Adguard has blocked access to this page This web page at www.chris-pc.com has been reported as a malware page and has been blocked based on your security preferences. Adguard has found that malicious software may be installed onto your computer if you proceed. If you've visited this site in the past or you trust this site, it is possible that it has just recently been compromised by a hacker. We recommend you to not proceed or try again later. They're doing obvious search engine optimization. They have a "RAM Booster" program. Said program exits with an obviously fake error message when run in Anubis sandbox. Also, the file downloaded when scanned by Virus Total shows a 27/57 detection rate: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/1fb9cb60b11165df3298dee55b59517e3ed15957b820b19b4ca0d8f9f2e20173/analysis/1426310319/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
