  1. I just wanted to comment on this. I'm not sure how MalwareBytes decided to handle this since no resolution is mentioned here, but ESET antivirus actually QUARANTINES software that contains this "OpenInstall" component during any attempt to download it. (I use both ESET and MalwareBytes and they are a fantastic combination, by the way!) To me, this "OpenInstaller" is worse than just adware; I would consider it spyware. Their terms are deplorable. I think users would be surprised to discover that it actually records an inventory of all the programs on their computer, even programs that are in no way connected to the software that they are installing. Plus, it grabs their unique system I.D. information. That is just unacceptable. Maybe you've already come to this conclusion (since it isn't noted here), but this "OpenInstall" really should be flagged as worse than "potentially" unwanted. As an end-user, I would absolutely consider it spyware. Thanks for your great software by the way. It's excellent! I recommend MalwareBytes to everyone I run into.
