When I try to install this, Comodo pops up a warning that a global hook WOW32.dll is trying to hook into NTVDM.exe. After I cancel that, a couple more warnings pop up. I don't think this torrent is safe. There is no .txt file telling you anything about how to install it, or if this is a safe process to allow.
I realize that this is old, but WOW32.dll is the "Windows-on-Windows" subsystem, used by 32-bit Windows to run programs (like this old one) designed for 16-bit Windows; similarly, modern 64-bit versions of Windows use a WOW64 subsystem to run programs designed for 32-bit Windows (but to run old 16-bit programs, you're better off getting a VM running 32-bit XP).
Similarly, NTVDM.exe is the "NT Virtual DOS Machine" used by 32-bit Windows NT (including Win2k and XP, all the way up to Win8.1) to run both MS-DOS programs and old 16-bit Windows programs (because all 16-bit versions of Windows ran on top of DOS); again, this doesn't exist in 64-bit Windows, but you can either use an XP32 VM or (more easily) DOSBox.
Try running Chip's Challenge or any other favorite abandonware Windows game from the early 1990s, and you'll find WOW32.dll hooking into NTVDM.exe, because that's how newer versions of Windows ran old Windows games, and I'm surprised that Comodo had a problem with it, unless you set it up to be so paranoid that it prompts you about *every* DLL hook.
