Is Stocksubmitter safe?

(1/3) > >>

dragonblade:
This afternoon, I installed Stocksubmitter (having never used it before.) Several minutes later, I attempted to open the program but was informed that it had to do some updates. I saw a progress bar advancing across the screen, indicating the progress of the updates. All of a sudden, my Avast Antivirus software called out: "Threat Detected!" and prompted me to run a scan (which I did.) Meanwhile, all these messages started appearing on the screen containing unusual text. And it looked like the updates weren't successful anyway.

I'm actually reluctant to start up Stocksubmitter again unless someone can confirm that it's safe?

grumble:
I use Stocksubmitter on a regular basis since 2012 or so. Had issues with Avast and AVG as well. As I know they are the same company now anyway. AVG even analyses it (on their servers?) and after a while shows the message that all is fine. And after a couple of days it blocks StockSubmitter on startup again. Had to delete this stupid antivirus.

Update was not successful because Avast interrupted it. You should restart the software for it to update without errors.

Sounds like those updates may have been potentially harmful.

I'm using Stocksubmitter since it's beta-version - relax!

I started another update but I'm getting another one of those weird messages. It says:

"FirstChanceException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
Trace0: - Intel32
System.Net.Sockets.Socket.EndReceiver (System.IAsyncResult)"

I wouldn't have a clue what this means.
