The message is "Advertising program by Secret-Crush"
This worries me. Has anyone else found this?

It might help to know which anti-virus you are using.
I'm sure it's just a false positive.
It's Mcaffee.
This is at work, so I have no option to modify the AV settings.
My home PC, running Windows Security Essentials does not have a problem with it.
The message is odd though - "Advertising program by Secret-Crush"
it's cheap when you buy bulk & some isp's offer it for free --- but it's not very good!
A bit of digging, and I think there is some other software/malware that uses Start.exe. If I rename the executable to S.exe, it's fine.
