I deleted GAME BOOSTER today because it failed to work after the last update. When I went to download the latest version I got a Yellow WOT rating. I checked this page and was disturbed by what I read. I have not reinstalled GAME BOOSTER and I plan to run an AV scan today.
What was so disturbing???
to be honest i don't see what's so disturbing.
If your talking about their ethical issues it is not that disturbing.

It all ads up to malware from a company with a lot of ethical issues. I should trust them to install their software on my roommates computer?

That kind of trust belongs to code you've read yourself
Most things that involve delving into system files are picked up as viruses, imho 99% of the time, this is not the case. Gambooster actually ran on the old SAS server for quite a while without a problem.

I ran GAME BOOSTER through http://www.virustotal.com and it ran clean of malware on 40 AV programs. I have reinstalled it on this computer.

Virustotal's program is recommended by http://www.lifehacker.com, a trusted source. It is particularly useful to weed out false positives from AV programs.

Game Booster isn't a virus, the value it has isn't provable however without profiling and source review.
I thought profiling was pulling over an Arab-American for driving past the White House.
