I went directly to: http://www.autodesk.com/suites/product-design-suite/free-trial 

 

The two viruses are contained within:

 

Autodesk Product Design Suite Ultimate 2017\x64\LWS\AutodeskInventorConnectPlugin.msi  and

Autodesk Product Design Suite Ultimate 2017\x64\LWS\AutodeskInventorConnect.msi

 

I did turn off my firewall as requested during the dowwnload and install proceedure, therfore my professionial version of Malwarebytes Anti-malware, Ver. 1.80.1.1001 detected the two viruses and quarantined them.

 

The two viruses are: Trojan.Packed
