DAP has so much friggen spyware built in it should be quarantined anyway but, Yeah, Don't download known viruses!
These funny number things have been posted in long lists before but never get pinned.

It's a virus that takes a popular filename and creates a new version number to interest gullible downloaders.

Always check the Software Makers Website First or verify it with a search through the crack and warez sites to see if it exists.
