Never post a life link to (potential) malicious software on this webboard.
Make the link not clickable. (e.g. change http to hxxp)

You can click at this link but you need download rar file, unpack this file and ONLY when you click masked .txt file or application you start this software.
I just need help of some experts in that field because I would like to know what this software do??????
