The installer which is distributed via file sharing sites such as TusFiles uses the 'download manager' which wraps the original file in a adware filled bundle. The application vdx_download_the_hunger_games_catching_fire_2013.cam.xvid.eng.m25.avi.exe, “Installer for QuickSet” by Artur Kozak has been detected as adware by 28 anti-malware scanners.
