What is Tarma Installer Malware and what is it designed to do?

Question

Mina Herzog · Accepted Answer

‘Tarma Installer’ creates stand-alone software installers for Microsoft Windows platforms. Unless you’re a software maker you have zero need for this program so go ahead and uninstall it from your system. The mention of ‘Tarma Installer Malware’ is the result of your antivirus program flagging it as such, but it seems to be a false positive, since reputable vendors like Spybot have stopped identifying this as malware. (Still, it does beg the question why a program of such kind would be flagged as malware by so many vendors in the first place… it may have turned out not to be malicious but it sure sounds like poor coding by Tarma! There is a certain irony to it as well, I can almost picture the slogan now… use Tarma Installer to create your installers so that your software can be flagged up as malware too!)
