Comment(by taylorkh):

 I agree that this needs to be resolved. I was just reporting additional
 data for what it might be worth. I have tested the offending file with the
 latest PAID versions of Spybot Search & Destroy, Xoftspy and Malwarebytes
 (at least I think they are all paid SW - not on my PC) and I did not find
 any indications of an issue.

 An Internet search on Gen.Variant.Kazy.25958 seems to indicate that this
 is a somewhat common "hit" by a number of AV products. I did not get the
 impression that it represents an actual piece of malware.

 That said... Is it possible to download the previous version of tor-
 browser? It may have issues but is it better than nothing?  As to my
 situation, I am running tor-browser on Linux. The Windows issue which
 caused me to report this occurred on a test VMWare XP guest.
