Gave me a Trojan alert.
"Trojan:Win32/Varpes.M!cl"
file:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\LocalCopy\{834C27FD-CB6E-4487-937B-5D53DBC468F4}-mb8_win_x86_sse3_opencl_nv_r3430_sog.7z

I had downloaded OpenCL NV MultiBeam v8 SoG edition for Windows I think from Raistmer's link but I havn't had time to do anything with it yet.

Just letting you know, that M$ is always watching.

Well Windows Defender is known in tests to be the worst AV-program. Having more false positives and being able to detect fewer virus, so I'd try something else like Kapersky, Bitdefender, F-secure or similar.
