[@TK] Thanks Ashraf… shame you don’t do proper evaluations of these programs before you offer them to us! I just logged out and it did stop the rogue process but then I tried to install it formally to see if it offered the option to disable the spyware calling home… it did NOT offer the choice and right after exiting the installer after declining to run the program the process launched itself again so making thousands of attempts to connect to the external we servers via both IPv4 and IPv6 numbers on https port 443 this time I tried renaming the file in the installation directory to meventagent1.exe so it would not be the same name and simple to re-launch but that made no difference the program came right back under its original filename and continued hammering against my firewall… The ONLY option if one wants this program written by invasive bad actors is to log out again and then rename all the executables bar the main program and see if it still runs, to me this is dangerous extremely badly behaved software and should be considered at least a PUP and badware and potential malware. Once you have activated it, re-enable the block rule on the firewall if you have a custom GUI like I do or only launch the program without an internet connection. I am going to report their site for distributing malicious software as it is proactively working around legitimate tools to try and tame it’s unauthorised and unannounced encrypted communications with numerous unknown 3rd party sites. Ashraf IF you have any integrity you would remove this from your site forthwith and apologise profusely for trusting vendors without vetting them and their product professionally and not just by uploading it to virustotal as there are MANY bad behaviours not even looked for by virustotal that get green ticks when they are just unrecognised spyware because they have not been discovered by the so called 1.2million + users… well they have been discovered NOW! shame I don’t use 3rd party anti-malware software so I could submit it!
To everyone else DON’T RISK IT, IT IS BADWARE and is potentially SPYWARE/MALWARE
