Released Buster Sandbox Analyzer 1.37.
Changes:
* Improved hiding feature

Part of the improved hiding feature is the possibility of naming LOG_API.DLL with the file name you prefer.
Evaluation risk was removed from malware analysis report because it was too misleading. Probably I will reintroduce the feature in the near but having other format.
