First time I tried downloading this file from MediaFire tonight I got a warning my computer was infected and I had to run the software program that popped up. This is from a Russian website claiming to be Microsoft Security Essential.... which it is not.
DO NOT save or run this software as it is a Trojan that will take over your computer. Stop the process immediately, or if you can't, shut down you computer as fast as you can.

How do I know this? Because it has happened to me before and boy did I have problems getting rid of it.

Gap, this is not your fault. It happens with MediaFire and other websites from time to time.

After getting this software stopped, I retried the download and all was well. No problems.
