My Antivirus (Emsisoft Anti-Malware) reported a malicious activity in SVP that it is trying to connect to the internet and transmit data.

why on earth would it do that??? what is it trying to send?

I have concerns about SVP due to the fact that it is not open source, connects to the internet and and is based out of Russia where the lion's share of trojans and botnets are based.

I note that SVP uses several open source packages, such as avisynth and ffdshow, but is not open source itself.

Can someone associated with the project clarify why this is the case ?
