Advertiso GmbH – 15% Detection Rate at VirusTotal

Found another software publisher that bundles lots of potentially unwanted software. The publisher is called Advertiso GmbH and the file was called adobe-flash-player_setup.exe.

Advertiso GmbH

When I uploaded the file to VirusTotal, it came up with a 15% detection rate.

InstallCore seems to be the common detection name for the Advertiso GmbH file.

When I ran the Advertiso GmbH file it offered a bunch of bundled softwares, such as Web Finder Pro (Site Finder Pro), AdvanceElite, AstroMenda, PennyBee, etc. An in addition, it failed to install Adobe’s Flash Player, with the error “Installation encountered errors“:

adobe flash player installer failed - Installation encountered errors

Hope this helped figure out what the Advertiso GmbH installer will do to your system.

If you want to download the Flash Player, please do so from Adobe’s official web site:

Did you also find a file from Advertiso GmbH? What kind of download was it? Was it also detected by the anti-virus programs at VirusTotal? Please share in the comments below?

Update 2015-09-10: Found another download signed by Advertiso called chrome_download.exe. The detection rate for that file is 20%:
