I downloaded the client form the link that's in the forums (
https://mega.co.nz/#!U4BVlSKK!5p9upTcjy ... rorOi-NMtE ). Be careful, its full of viruses, one has been detected during installation and an other one some time after.
This link is a poisoned gift :'(
Viruses found are the trojan TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen and some ad software called ADWARE/InstallCore.Gen9 .
Please clean your files.

It's not a virus. It says that because of the launcher that is inside it.

TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen
Description:
A generic detection routine designed to detect common family characteristics shared in several variants.
This special detection routine was developed in order to detect unknown variants and will be enhanced continuously.
it's a False Positive. blame Avira

So, what has it found? it has found the launcher.exe inside the pack. This must now be known to download its myphandlers.dll etc without user clicking ok, etc. and is now complaining that it is a Trojan.
same is true for the Adware

all dl's should be scanned.
here's some useful tools to use (sledgehammer approach)
1: finds and stops any malicious process' running so run this first.

2: again finds process', but then scans for virus/rootkits/etc.

3: this looks for the PuP and adware

You need a fcking university degree in security to filter out what the Antivirus says it's good or bad. I've been having these "problems" for years now.......
