Release

• No counter-indications to being able to ship build6 as 39 release. Looks like of the few reports so far, almost all are 1 crash per installation only, and
• It looks like even affected builds are crashing less with this.
• Submitted the randomly-named DLLs from the malware sample we obtained via the process in https://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-report-malware-or-false-positives-multiple-antivirus-vendors.htm - hopefully that will turn some green checks to red content in https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/44890ce30a918f19f38784b7155afabbc401227bfe51348c82b73c0c7140913e/analysis/1435855744/ and https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/b6993536893741714e74980d263648be9e41212869c34ccba6d09f0af4b0c8f8/analysis/
