For some unknown reason I had trouble sleeping this night, so instead I spent a few hours hunting some adware installers. I found a file digitally signed by Stas Kosmov that bundled lots of unwanted software. Stas Kosmov will appear as the publisher when double-clicking on the file and in the file’s digital signature tab. According to the certificate Stas Kosmov is located in Kiev, Ukraine.
So, what does the anti-virus scanners say about this file? The following scan result should convince you to not run the Stas Kosmov file:
Did you also find a file signed by Stas Kosmov? Where did you find it?
Found the same app when I wanted to download a supposed PDF file of a 1988 firebird service manual.
Found it here

Thank you, I’ll check out that download to see what it installs.
@F.Mahe: I tested the “firebird service manual” download this morning, and it installed a bunch of unwanted software:

all the installers I’ve clicked on this site so far have the “stas kosmov” name. That is one of them.
I’m so glad I looked up the name before I installed anything. The last thing I need is crap files and malware. :\

I got a pdf with this link in it

Did not trust the file so i pressed abort and did not install it.
Used Google and found your topic about this guy “stas kosmov” .
I went back to the forum and there was some guy cursing about tool bars and mall ware, he was not a happy guy.
I don’t know what you want to do about it, but i did my best to help.
Best regards,
Pascal.
Ps, the link from the pdf was fine, but there was a big button saying download and that was your guy.
