Anyway, I went through the trouble to unpacking this app, as well as one directly from the Adguard site, and ran a comparison program on them.
The only differences found were some minor definitions (different values for variables, different gotos, etc.), that would've been caused by the slightly newer version from the developer's site. So, it does seem to be safe.
The reason NVISO found references to some sketchy sites (elite-sex-finder.com, etc) was because they were included in a filter list (which also exists in the official version).
Now, ktx-nz, please don't tell me "I told you so"...
Your assumption that is was safe wasn't really based on any facts. Like I said before, just because the software worked fine doesn't mean it's not infected; so you really didn't have any way of actually knowing that it's safe. You were just hoping it would be...
THIS!!!
I really don't get why people assume and hopes, them say donwload only if you want or go somewere else when they are really not sure.
This is a respectfull site, I never noticed I got infected here or by the OP but that dosen't mean this site is 100% "bug" free, If you swim in the scene soon or later you will get infected. Too much caution is never too much.
Thank you @User.100 for your analisys.
