Marik Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 now here's something interesting so I submitted their online installer present on their homepage to ThreatExpert hoping it would give me the url it contacts to dl the offline installer and I found something interesting while reading the report first of all, here it ishttp://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?md5=2dffad7bf7d5c4572580cb477aef8917Notice what it does at the end. It makes a connection to "api.mybrowserbar.com" and the strange part is that mybroserbar isn't mentioned at all in the online installer nor is it included as a turn off button in the additional options Now, a quick search in google yields some pretty interesting resultshttp://forums.techguy.org/virus-other-malware-removal/1067276-redirecting-api-mybrowserbar-com-slow.htmlhttp://blog.yoocare.com/how-to-remove-api-mybrowserbar-com-permanently/Also, upon canceling the online setup, it creates a shortcut for the respective online .exe on the desktop, which is pretty weird since installers usually exit when you click on the 'x' button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtermy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Marik - that is disturbing indeed. I only hope that IOBit knew nothing of this and\or that their download server go injected with malicious software somehow (though, unfortunately, I highly doubt it). I also hope that you have contacted them with these disturbing findings.instead, just use the offline installer to which a link is supplied on the download page. I personally always use only offline installers, because I don't like to wait for the online installer to download additional components to my system each and every time I need to install\reinstall an application - that's why it's always best to perform a one-time download of the offline installer instead.
