Here is a sandboxie report of the file posted here, looks suspicious to me, strange network connections and attempt to install itself in system startup is not right. I would wait until someone trusted confirms the MD5 of this file against the original 1.5.2 i am still running 1.5.0 so cant check here.

Yeah i am aware of that but this seems to add itself to startup on the first run, i have also checked the first ip from the report the irc one which seems to have also been used in a few qt wallets posted before and in a multibit wallet that somebody had downloaded, links below. None of these files should be connecting to a irc host and even stranger the same one. Am nearly 100% sure now that this is binded with somekind of irc botnet, like PlasmaIRC bot or similar, am still waiting for someone to confirm the checksums against the official 1.5.2 software which will confirm it as i am sure they wont match.

Ok yep i will be the first to say i was wrong and am sorry for doubting your link, but can never be to careful when it comes to crypto and a link posted by a new account as a first post is always going to be suspicious.
I have managed to download the offcial 1.5.2 from the first post and the checksums match, so it is 100% the same file on the dropbox link as the one in the op.
