Adware

Explanation:

The setup file is part of the Soft32.com download and install manager. It is an ad-supported installer and attempts to get the user to install various adware toolbars, browser add-ons, game applications or other potentially unwanted programs.

Note, the software installed by Soft32 is probably safe, just the installer is unwanted.
