Hi there! Just wanted to give you heads-up on suspicious file I found right now. The file is named installer_jdownloader_English.exe and digitally signed by Alpha IS (Fried Cookie Ltd.).

According to the certificate, Alpha IS (Fried Cookie Ltd.) is located in Tel Aviv, Israel.

So, why did I put up this blog post? Well, the thing is that the Alpha IS (Fried Cookie Ltd.) file is detected by some of the anti-malware scanners, according to VirusTotal. Comodo reports installer_jdownloader_English.exe as Application.Win32.FriedCookie.CIRK, ESET-NOD32 detects it as a variant of Win32/InstallCore.UW, K7AntiVirus detects it as Trojan ( 004b25f41 ), K7GW calls it Trojan ( 004b25f41 ) and VIPRE detects it as InstallCore (fs)

Did you also find an Alpha IS (Fried Cookie Ltd.)? Do you remember the download link? Please post it in the comments below and I’ll upload it to VirusTotal to see if that one is also detected.

Thank you for reading.
