HQ-Video-Pro-2.1c is bundled with a number of downloads. Bundling means that software is included in other software’s installers. When I first found HQ-Video-Pro-2.1cV22.10, it was bundled with a download called FlvPlayer. Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as HQ-Video-Pro-2.1c by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer.

As usual when I play around with some new bundled software I uploaded it to VirusTotal to test if the anti-malware software there find something. The detection rate is 4/54 which I’d say is pretty low. Some of the detection names for HQ-Video-Pro-2.1cV22.10 are a variant of Win64/Toolbar.Crossrider.L, PUP.Optional.HQVideo.A and Crossrider (fs). The file is signed by “Radon Battery Technologies“.
