Hi All,
Today (7th June 16), I downloaded "FSEnhancer" from the downloads section, but as soon as I started the install, my Antivirus (AVG) blocked the installation.
It reported that this program contains a TROJAN by name of IDP.ALEXA.51

I done a google on this virus, it clearly exists and is normally hidden with or in Games software with lots of people asking advice on how to remove it.

Don't really know what to make of this I won't be installing it though.

Neither Malwarebytes Antimalware nor updated Microsoft Windows Defender detected anything bad in that zip file's contents. But, it's sloppy work, containing a useless .tmp file and a fragment of a Word .doc file that must have been documentation for the utility. When I see such careless work like that, I think it's not a good idea to be installing the actual program.

Just looked at it.
Scanned with Norton - no threats found.

Cannot see any temp file nor any word document .......

I suspect these are the files ftldave referred to.

Interesting Doug though they are not there after install as you can see. I also suspect it may be due to the program you (or anyone) use to view and extract .zip files and/ or .. the tools the creator used to make or pack up the utility -- all kinds of anomolies can occur

.
In all fairness to the uploader, and seeing that nobody else could find a problem here, in the end I DID install this program and with no problems.
Probably an over zealous anti-virus or like Pete said, an anomaly..

Anyway, there is no problem thanks
