Popcorn Audio Converter is Backdoor Trojan...

[snadge]

Ive been using Popcorn Audio Converter for about a month - great program

but recently I scanned with AVGfree and its flagged up as trojan.hupigon5


so I uploaded it to VIRUS-TOTAL and 19 out of 41 results came back positive...

surely that cant be a FALSE-POSITIVE

I think it should be removed from the site

It's FALSE-POSITIVE. Read http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showthread.php?tid=20887 . Most antivirus apps are crap.

That thread is a message by the person who makes Popcorn. Of course he's going to say it has no trojans.

Chrome currently blocks PopCorn's website, www.heartware.dk, with this message:

The site ahead contains harmful programs

Attackers on www.heartware.dk might attempt to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience (for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit).

That's enough for me to stay away.

PS -- I came to this website because Malwarebytes says SUPER.exe contains a trojan downloader, even though I got the SUPERsetup directly from Ericsoft (in 2010), and the installer itself scanned as clean.

(it is not any installer)

But you can use mkv2ac3 also.
