It's not a virus. DVDStyler is bundled with somoto to display some optional offers. And you can skip any offer.
There are also a DVDStyler version without any offers. It's a DVDStylerPortable:

Thank you for your answer. You should stop distributing somoto, you are breaking the confidence of free softwares' users. CamStudio is making the same error : https://www.virustotal.com/fr/file/a199d27557e07a76d61c667665f36c2687865ebf29d8e4b082935eec96f47b60/analysis/1411892487/

What kind of a-hole distributes malware under the guise of GPL?

  No malware! Only optional offers (e.g. toolbars) with own license. Read conditions when you install the software!

Malware in optional offers ! Nobody read conditions when installing the software and everybody install this malware ! If you continue to distribute this malware, I will post warning on all free softwares information websites.

  Actually search toolbars are not malware. And if you don't read conditions you will get some unwanted software in any case - the half of freeware programs distributes search toolbars or the like. I'm not against warnings about optional offers. Search toolbars are annoying, but so is financed the continued development of many free software projects.

"And if you don't read conditions you will get some unwanted software in any case" : you should not release anymore DVDStyler under a free software license. Choose a freeware license or something like that. But stop adding unwanted softwares and malwares in a free software.
