Most likely a false postive but can you verify the validity of the file rkinstall.exe contained in the installer?

I had the same answer for the same file.
Hope someone can tell us if rkinstall.exe is safe.

RkInstall.exe is truly a adware, but I don't understand why Mediacoder has it.
Someone can tell me what is going on?

It will not be installed by default.

It won't be installed BECAUSE IT WON'T BE (SUCCESSFULLY) DOWNLOADED!

Most people sane enough to use a virus checker have it set to scan anything being downloaded and to reject anything containing undesirable material.

Suggest you QUICKLY RETHINK this action - once the software package (and you) garner a reputation for inappropriate conduct, it will be irreparable.

You are killing the goose - I doubt you will find a collection of golden eggs.

The 4399 installer is repackaged and uploaded.

Here is the scanning report of VirtusTotal:

TrendMicro's detection of PAK_Generic.001 is obviusly a mis-reporting.

Hmm...

New installer from SourceForge does not contain RelevantKnowledge Survey.

But new installer from Google Code contain RelevantKnowledge Survey and unfortunately... is running before choose components. (Which means the lock installation by many antivirus and antimalware apps, also can't install MC without RK.)
