FileHunter is a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Application), a questionable torrent / download client. This program uses deceptive ways to install into ones PC, that are not so different from the ones regular Trojans use. Its installs use names of applications and movies with extension .exe so mistaken users download and execute the application. Additionally, there are no install windows to confirm that Site visitors WANT to install this application, where they want to install it and no way to skip install. Later, FileHunter might ask for money for the services it provides.

FileHunter is not a new application. It is detected by ESET as WinPump ( Win32/Adware.WinPump ) , which was added in definitions on April 7, 2011. This Adware is detected by other anti-malware applications, including Spybot S&D. Thus my advice is to remove FileHunter from ones PC. Due to the way this application is installed, we recommend scanning with anti-malware programs like Hitman Pro or spyhunter to reduce possibility of bundled trojans.
