    does any antivirus software report it?

    I guess not, and it shows once again, that they are literally useless resource hogs

      From the article:

      ESET already considers it a potentially unwanted program

      From there, that categorization means:

      A potentially unwanted application (PUA) is a program that contains adware, installs toolbars, or has other unclear objectives. There are some situations where a user may feel that the benefits of a potentially unwanted application outweigh the risks.
