I was on gunbroker.com when it loaded onto my computer. Norton didn't know where it came from but says it's safe because a lot of users have it. My computer froze & said I wasn't connected to the internet. I can log into other sites, but not onto gunbroker. libEGL.dll Came along with, libGLESv2.dll , manifest.fingerprint (FingerPrint File), & manifest.json (JSON File)

@Chris: Did it load without asking for permission? The VirusTotal scan report shows that TrendMicro-HouseCall detected the file as HV_ZYX_CA225557.TOMC, but that scan was done back in 2013. Could be a false positive. Please upload the file to VirusTotal.com to see if some of the anti-virus programs detect it.
