The application setup.exe, “HD Player ” by Air Software has been detected as adware by 31 anti-malware scanners. The program is a setup application that uses the AirInstaller Download Manager installer. This program installs potentially unwanted software on your PC at the same time as the software you are trying to install, without adequate consent.
