Hey,
I recently downloaded and used Advanced Magic Set Editor 2.0.1 downloaded from mediafire mirror. Today, during perodic scan, my Avira Antivirus alerted me about detection of trojan "TR/Fraud.Gen7" in \MSE\mse.com. I wanted to bring it to your attention.

"Advanced" Magic Set Editor?
The program is named just "Magic Set Editor". There is no "advanced" version of it as far as I am aware.

Here's probably referring to the version with template pack that's been uploaded here.anomer - I've checked around and no one else has ever had this issue. Are you sure you're downloading from mediafire and not clicking some shady ad that's pretending to be the download? The file should be 619.15 MB. If your magic set editor download passes both of these questions then it's likely your antivirus software raising a false alarm.

anomer,
For us to complete replication of what you found we also need to know which virus protection software found the Trojan (different software uses different criterion for detection).
Edit: Doh! Missed that, thanks for the correction Cajun & update.

I also got a similar detection when downloading the advanced version. I think it's because of a popup on mediafire

If it's from some shady popup I'd just advise installing AdBlock Plus and/pr uBlock Origin ( Chrome, Firefox, not just 'ublock') to avoid that issue in the future (and reduce the risk on other downloads).

Thanks for checking it out! Figured it was probably false alert, but wanted to let you know nonetheless, in case there is some active development and someone might want to fix it.
In my case the detection happened after using the program for a while, so it has nothing to do with download process itself.
