Clearly it's not a virus, but just thought I'd give you all a heads up that Microsoft as of March 2nd is now flagging this as a virus.

Been having lots of fun trying to download it at least I finally got it.....

Seems to me the exact definition of a virus. It gets to the root of your phone and takes control.

I didn't know about this until I scanned my laptop the other day and it deleted the files. Just go into MSE and add an exception for your root folder on your pc, so it won't scan any of the files and leaves them alone.
