Artur Kozak

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 venkatadri.express_2013_drgm.zip.exe, “Installer for QuickSet” by Artur Kozak has been detected as adware by 27 anti-malware scanners. The program is a setup application that uses the WebPick InstalleRex (Tarma) 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.
