            Bug ID: 313885
           Summary: Virus reported on installation of KDE on windows
                    (file: akonadi_rds.exe)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde-windows
           Version: 4.8.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: installer
          Assignee: kde-windows at kde.org
          Reporter: himmmelblau at sunrise.ch

On installing KDE on a windows 7 64bit machine, my virus scanner (F-secure)
blocks the file C:\Program Files (x86)\KDE\bin\akonadi_rds.exe. 
After KDE installer finishes, no start folder menu entry is created and kile
won't run.

Link my antivirus software gives me:
http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/other_w32_generic.shtml - a general description
of malware

(Follow-up results, not sure if linked to this issue:
Kile won't run because it complains that the file poppler_qt4.dll is not
installed. After manually renaming a similarly-named file of my miktex
installation, and running Kile as an administrator, it will start but complain
that there is no editor component installed within KDE. It is then not possible
to open or create a new file in kile as it when hitting the 'new' button, it
will complain that tex\latex\koma-script\scrartcl.cls is missing, and i didn't
find a way how to install it. I have no clue if this is an issue of the miktex
package or of KDE and didn't follow it up any further.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download kde installer
2. run kde installer, selecting at least kile and kdebase-workspace packages

Actual Results:  
Anti-virus software reports it has found a virus
No KDE startup folder generated
programs (Kile) won't run

Expected Results:  
should install smoothly
