This is what I just got doing a complete scan of a fresh install of K-Meleon.

A fresh install of K-Meleon will always result an emty cache!

Got the K-Meleon file straight from here, http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/download.php, so don't try and tell me I was downloading some illicit file.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not accusing you of anything. It was just an advice. For all I care you are free to download any file from any server you can access.

Be sure that both of us like few others as well, did download and run K-M 1.5.3!

Let me give you just a second advice
1. Either Avira's RTM (real time monitor) is enabled:
Your AV will warn/block access to/delete (according to your configurations) the flagged file at the latest after its download completed.
2. Or the RTM is disabled and your AV is set only for on demand scanning:
Always scan files you download before you decide to install.
*** Unexperienced users generally tend to set their AV to automatically delete flagged files, a setting which can lead to serious problems in case of a FP (false positive).

Now, I just came up with this Malwarebytes.
Files Infected:
C:\Program Files\Kmeleon\SetDefault.exe (Trojan.Downloader) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

I DO scan all files immediately after downloading, NOT after installing, and stated that in previous post.
