Am I Just Malware Paranoid or ....?

[Saltrams]

Hi All.
A few times recently (4, maybe 5) I have had a notification box pop up when starting my PC (Win10 64 bit. Also have 7004T NAS with latest ADM update 3.4.6.RDF3)
The box is this:

and it raises several questions, does it not?

Why is EZSync spelled "Easy Sync"? Why does it say "Relaese (sic) Notes"? Why is there no branding/logo/whatever to even suggest it originates from Asustor? Am I just paranoid?

I know that English isn't these guys' first language and I don't want to be snooty about that but it does have a lot of the warning signs of things that ain't what they should be, doesn't it?

Well, it has been a month now, this is still happening and quite a few people have seen this post but nobody seems to have the same issue.
Maybe I'm in the wrong forum, I'll see if I can move to a better place....

Better late than never...

If the process shown is:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUSTOR\EZ Sync\LiveUpdate.exe

and that executable is digitally signed by ASUSTOR Inc., then everything is fine.

The version number shown is the latest available - https://www.asustor.com/service/downloads?product_id=18

If you're ever in doubt of any program, then uninstall it, ensure all files have been deleted from the related folder(s), and then download the latest version directly from the manufacturer's website.
