zdl-30.zip
In our tests, this download contained programs some people would consider adware, spyware or other potentially unwanted programs.
A few Spyware/Malware detecting programs flag up zdl 3.0 as Adware/Spyware. I don't know why. The same programs do not flag up ZDL 3.1 (which is a mod of the code by Risen to fix some bugs and add a little more functionality - I don't think is hosted here). I can't imagine that BioHazard was slipping some spyware into his Doom launcher so my guess is that it's a false positive. However, if McAfee thinks it is spyware, that would explain the rating.
