Doesnt come up as a virus to me. Make sure you have updated your virus scan completely. Other than that, it could be the type of installer they are using (Sometimes my shard's installer can come up as spyware only because of the same installer scripting engine I use being used by many spyware makers to silently install things in the background)

Yeah...I have current virus definitions..this has always happened for years now with my av software (avast.) I checked this with bitdefender online scan and it did not recognize it as a virus (just for everyones info.) I have always assumed that maybe there was some remote connection feature in it or something that registered as a virus..but what do I know Anyhow yeah..and it's just the installer that is detected as such..after installed the files that are installed are fine Was just wondering if anyone had any idea why that may be happening...I will try to submit the file to my av software and see if they can somehow take it off the list Thanks!
