After RDI.EXE vanished when trying to activate 9.9 and when trying to install from the Eclipse Marketplace, I found my (current) free version of Avast was the culprit (life lesson: never run Avast in silent mode when you're installing new code). The malicious code was identified as "IDP.generic" and Google research (which is never wrong) suggests it's a frequent false positive. In my next install, I'll get RDi updated first and then add an exclusion to Avast before starting the install cleanup. More adventures.
