I got a virus warning and windows deleted the entire zip. Just a heads up. Maybe source or a signed file or something might go a long way to fixing that.

Regardless. Fun stuff. Looking forward to trying. Maybe in a vm.

It's a problem related to Visual C++ 2008 redistributables triggering false warnings. I'll try to compile the next version with something more recent.

So it phones home and downloads a file and uploads 3? Or am I interpreting this incorrectly?
