aol doesnt have anything to do with it, this is a mass installer, traditionally anything that can "jump" from one file to another will throw up a red flag on most anti virus programs.that is because that is typically what a virus does,it moves from one file to another and/or reports back to some server somewhere,so when these programs are written they are told to find anything that copy's or can duplicate its self,thus a positive,but it is false,thus a false positive. there are 2 files in this pack that will throw false positives they are as follows (win32/pirite) both the same. my avg flags them everytime.
however open the definitions file or the virus encyclopedia of your anti-vir program you are using and search it. it will bring back nothing. this is because this is a harmless installer that is capable of duplicating itself to install multiple files. it does not report back to anything or "jump"to anything other than the dll's it was meant to. so it really is ok to add this file to your list of exceptions and use it like it was meant to be used. aol however is know for causing all kinds of problems and installing all kinds of tracking cookies and malware on your os. slowing computers to almost unusable states over time. i would highly recomend ridding your pc of it before you find yourself in need of my or anther store like mine to do some fixin on it for ya.
