Real Nasty Apps to Avoid

Yesterday, I ran ESET Online Scanner and was surprised when ESET found a threat - YouTube Downloader - that two of my other AVs had already deleted. It was only a 'threat' but the fact that it keeps coming back makes it a major threat that should be destroyed. And again, 2 of these threats came from Cnet downloads

Here's the ESET scan result:
C:\Program Files\Direct YouTube Downloader\nv.exe a variant of Win32/Somoto.A application cleaned by deleting - quarantined
C:\Users\Pocholo Peralta\Downloads\cnet_iecv_zip.exe a variant of Win32/InstallCore.D application cleaned by deleting - quarantined
C:\Users\Pocholo Peralta\Downloads\cnet_setup_listen_n_write_free_1_2_0_2_exe.exe a variant of Win32/InstallCore.D application cleaned by deleting - quarantined
C:\Users\Pocholo Peralta\Downloads\freefileviewer_518.exe a variant of Win32/InstallIQ application cleaned by deleting - quarantined
C:\Users\Pocholo Peralta\Downloads\installfreefileopener_553.exe a variant of Win32/InstallIQ application cleaned by deleting - quarantined
C:\Users\Pocholo Peralta\Downloads\Unlocker1.9.1.exe Win32/Adware.ADON application cleaned by deleting - quarantined
C:\Users\Pocholo Peralta\Downloads\YouTubeDownloaderSetup33.exe a variant of Win32/Toolbar.Widgi application cleaned by deleting - quarantined
