@Unwinder, have you heard about this?
Someone is spoofing your baby and adding malware to it.
Actually this can happen to any software, and is why I only download at developers site, or Majorgeeks.

You read it wrong, that's a myth generated by those who misinterpret GN news. Someone was spoofing download links and install completely unrelated malware instead of AB. There are no such things as hacked AB distributive with malware packed into it.
I guess it is a back side of popularity, everything distributed massively gets spoofed one day. But in this case there is big part of MSI fault in it. Official MSI AB download page @ MSI.com was broken for months since 4.6.3 was released. Webmasters didn't bother to fix it so spoofing became really easy because users were searching for alternate download locations themselves. At least they started doing something and issued public statement after my angry mail to them.

According to Unwinder:
So it was a forced political change, no big deal for me, as I never noticed the flags beforeNew MSI Afterburner 4.6.4 Beta 3 is around the corner. I rarely say that, but this build is useless for 99% of application users, the main reason behind releasing Beta 3 it is politics. MSI forced us to release new version urgently out of schedule because of China/Taiwan tension, the company wanted to remove China/Taiwan flags next to Traditional/Simplified Chinese languages listed in MSI Afterburner GUI. I tried to defend the flags for the rest languages, but the company insists on removing them all because of this tension. So my deep apologies goes to third party localization creators, who created Dutch, French, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Spanish, Turkish and Ukrainian language localizations for MSI Afterburner. I understand that national pride and feelings of each of you may be hurt after seeing your country flag removed from your localization pack. It is not my choice, I did everything to defend and leave your flags inside application GUI.
