Hi dnecro,

Jdownloader is classified by Panda as a PUP.

A PUP (potentially unwanted program) is a program that may be unwanted, despite the possibility that users consented to download it. PUPs include spyware, adware, and dialers, and are often downloaded in conjunction with a program that the user wants.

In this particular case, during the installation of Jdownloader, it is also install WarThunder and a Toolbar named Chromium.

You can always create an exclusion in the antivirus settings to avoid analyzing this file.
