That sounds like what I was hit with. If I'm right -- I know I don't need to tell you -- don't download it. The worst problem I encountered was Adware.Maxifiles which is very dangerous.

Maxifiles adds a toolbar onto your task manager and creates pop-up advertisements.

Threat High: these infections may override user control of your system or pose high security risks such as capturing high-risk data for example, bank account details or passwords for unsolicited third-party use. Typical characteristics could include:

* Involuntary installation with no user interaction or control
* Hijacking browser home pages
* Returning sensitive data to other servers
* Automatically reinstalling itself following an uninstall
* Examples of these infections include keyloggers and dialers

Could it be possible that this is how their HyperMP.tv works? Or maybe a hacker knew that people would be expecting it so took advantage.
