Hello again,

Thank you for providing the installer.

After analyzing the installer, the detection will stand for the time being for these reasons:

1) The installer uses a download wrapper to install additional software

2) The offered additional software through the download wrapper is declined on an opt-out basis

3) After the software is installed, a popup is launched in the user's browser.

What is still unclear to me is what exactly this "Browser Assistant" does. Perhaps you could shed some light on this since you believe it is a false positive?

The whole front page of a Google search for "browser assistant realistic media inc" shows dozens of users complaining about getting hijacked by it without their knowledge or consent.

Best regards,
