I just downloaded NS v2.0 and something strange occured the moment after the download was complete. A window popped up and said that it was copying a file with a suspect filename (it was something like UA409584...random letters and numbers) to the directory where the update was located. This took around 15 seconds to complete, but I didn't dare cancel this process because when I had done so in the past, the entire download was cancelled (not just the bizzare file name copying window). I'm wondering, is this a virus? If so, it would seem odd that the hacker would make it so blatantly apparent that it was coyping a virus to an .exe. I'm using Windows ME, if that means anything to anyone who actually reads this post, and I have an outdated virus scanner D: Thanks!

Just copying some important bits of the file into your exe,nothing to worry about
