O.P. Dodgy  Patchou please explain.

After further analysis, I can conclude that the installer is clean. However, after the install, the program will try to connect to this site here: http://*#####.**.netbios-wait(dot)com/bins/int/7k...77428//EXE-Package
The site above(netbios-wait(dot)com) is rated red by site advisor for being a spyware control server. Please note that the site mentioned above is potentially dangerous. If a connection is established, a file will be downloaded and executed onto the user's system. The file contains a obfuscated Trojan-downloader. After the user's system is infected, the Trojan will then start downloading malware onto the infected machine. The malware includes spyware, adware, and possibly viruses. Their EULA has stated that the sponsor program is adware but has failed to inform users that it is really a Trojan horse which will then commence the download of the stated adware and other malware. Due to the method of infection, this program was able to dodge many anti-virus and anti-spyware programs Users have the choice whether to install the sponsor program or not to. However, not much information is provided which can result in inexperienced users unknowingly install malware onto their computers. This website should remain red.

This is from site ad visor. Can someone explain is this is true?
No longer here.
