The application setup.exe by Pavel KRASNOV has been detected as adware by 30 anti-malware scanners. The program is a setup application that uses the WebPick InstalleRex installer. The setup program uses Web-Pick's InstalleRex download manager and installer to bundle potentially unwanted ad-supported software which includes toolbars and browser extensions through a pay-per-install monetization scheme.
