A trojan is not a virus and vice-versa.

HOSS - one expects that to be so but it's always better to err on the side of safety.

Software gets tested BEFORE it is put up on the giveaway site. Do you really think they would post untested software?? Think about it!

false positives courtesy of badly implemented virus engines - nothing to be alarmed about

in this case the file that is giving the problem is the setup.exe - if wary you should be able to install the programme using just the setup.msi and the activate.exe

Tried to post this in the comments section to warn people but my comments are not accepted. I assume because of the words virus and trojan.

A-Square software and AVG anti virus found Trojan-dropper.win32 in todays giveaway, uMark Professional. There are two set up files, one containing the program, the other containing the trojan.

GAOTD, please test the file and if you find the same results, you really should take it off the site.

Unfortunately, most likely, this post will be removed instead...
