    "VIRUS "Adware.Downloader-207" in download"

    February 13, 2012  |   By egghead55425

    Pros

    Haven't had a chance to try yet.

    Cons

    The download as of 2/13/2012 contains the virus "Adware.Downloader-207". CNET has been notified. Don't download this program unless you want a virus!

    Summary

    I'd love a free OCR program, but not a free virus.

    Do you know if this has been resolved? Each time there is an "update", I try to reinstall it and get a message that says "Error 11 while opening this file and attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format." Does mean a virus?
