The VideoLAN Forums

I have just downloaded VLC Media Player from this site and another 8MB executable called 'PDFixers.exe' has also downloaded. What is it as a Google search seems to imply it could be malware.

Please can someone advise me?

This may well be the case. At least the official download has nothing to do with PDF.
