This virus (trying to install itself as a rootkit) is so buggy that it corrupts the boot system and that you'll need a complete restauration or reconstruction of your damaged 1st partition, if it is not a simple primary partition (with MBR). Most recent PC's are at HIGH risk of loosing ALL the data in that 1st partition, as well as any user of multiboot systems, or backup/recovery programs that create full system images, or users of some antivirus programs that install a bootloader, or users of PC's with multiple hard disks, or users of paritions on a RAID hardware.
DTLite **was** safe prior that version (but only when disabling its embedded advertizing program, i.e. refusing all such "toolbars" or options to change your "prefered" search engine or web start page). -
IF you still want to install it, use an antivirus that has a "sandbox" such as Avast!. Avast! will detect the file as "suspect" (because its content will be unique each time you download it or contains unique files that are frequently updated by the virus author). Avast will propose to tun this installer in that sandbox, and will disinfect the files created on your system by the installer, before these files are even activated and run.
The advertizing part and toolbars of DTLite will not run, and will be deleted as it is REALLY very damageable (and will make a PC, notably notebooks that have special hidden partitions for recovery, or PC's using a GPT partition table or an UEFI bios, or a MSR partition, or dynamic partitions, completely unable to reboot with symtom "no filesystem". -
The compromized component is the one that installs the advertizing toolbar for your browser. Even if you don't check it and explicitly do not want it, the installer rejects your disagreement and still performs a web request to download and install a component. This is that "tool" that is compromized. Daemon Tools Lite chose a very BAD and viral advertizing network.
