Hi Ashley,
Please allow me to try to explain why does Kaspersky (and some other Antiviruses, occasionally) trigger this warning.
Since VDownloader is a Free product, we have to rely on advertising income to keep the product up and running (mainly to cover up expenses). This advertising is shown by offering other products from 3rd parties in the installer (I'm sure you've noticed them). Unfortunately, some Antiviruses seem to trigger a false warning due to this situation.
What I can assure you is that both VDownloader and the 3rd party products that we advertise are 100% CLEAN, and that these warnings are merely false positives.
In the meantime, we've already contacted Kaspersky to clean the false positive.
Please let me know if you have any other concerns. Either I or Eli will gladly reply them.
Best Regards,
Diogo Alves @ VDownloader
