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.

Sorry for the inconvenience mate,
I quoted entirely you message for giving it the needed emphasis.
I knew about the problem, but unfortunately couldn't do without mediafire, because among the various free file storage services, it is one of the most reliable in therms of long permanence of the hosted files, but not in therms of safety, evidently...
This last accident induces me to move all of my small sized files to subsim. I will start doing it from tomorrow. Unfortunately, the problem will persist for mods bigger than 50 Mb (the maximum upload size on subsim), like Dynamic Environment
