No guarantees but that looks just like one of the instalers I recently used without a problem. I think you're just reading too much into the standard icon.

Good luck!

i think you may be right .... just hackers like to give hints ya know n a lil horse on the installer for somthing that has nothing to do with horses is kinda odd to me

and it came from kazaa so im iffy about it .... kazaa is great for anime but sux for programs

Yeah, you need to be cautious when using p2p programs to get software. I've come across a couple of viruses but only in keygen programs. Never in the software itself.

Whether your program is a virus or not I don't think the horse is any sort of clue though.

Incidently what is the program?

That's a standard insaller, you're safe. Not sure why they put a horse but I've seen these installers plenty of times. Only way it can be a virus is if a virus writter used that icon but for some reason most virus writers don't bother with an icon.

Its the Nullsoft installer, and its suposed to be a llama ... of course maybe that is a modified version of the icon, and the horse is a hint! Who knows

Have you tried it yet?

Noticed any unexplained thousand dollar outgoings in your latest bank statement as your details are forwarded to some crook?
