PSPad doesn't contains any "exploits". When you click on "Check for update", PSPad downloads litle txt file from PSPad pages and read current PSPad version. Maybe your antivirus is too paranoid.
Send PSPad to Kaspersky Lab for checking. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,39802,39810> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
