I just uploaded all three files to Virustotal.com and only Fortinet
viewed Proxyway.exe as suspicious

I also sent Proxyway.exe to virusscan.jotti.org


Here's the Proxyway site.

http://www.proxyway.com/

The Jotti scanners found nothing but did issue this warning:

Proxyway.exe

MIGHT BE INFECTED/MALWARE (Sandbox emulation took a long time and/or
runtime packers were found, this is suspicious. Normally programs aren't
packed and don't force the sandbox into lengthy emulation. Do realize no
scanner issued any warning, the file can very well be harmless. Caution
is advised, however.
