Had a popup notification this morning from Classic Shell saying there was an update available.

I ignored it, as usual and I'm glad I did.

The official download for classic shell has been compromised the program will overwrite your MBR.

You would have been fine if you updated via the program, it was only for new .exe downloads from 1 mirror that was compromised
