    I ran Malwarebytes this morning and I am sure that this is a false postive, but just the same please check and see if you have Service.exe in

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Hotkey\Service.exe

    Sevice.exe has a created date of 9/4/2009 @ 1:03 PM.

    The last time I ran Malwarebytes on 3/20/12 it did not flag this file.

    I am sure that this is part of the Hotkey application, but I would like to get it verified. On the web I found that there was a trojan back in Windows ME and XP that was named service.exe.

    Will somebody look in your Hotkey folder and see if you have this file?

    Just to update you, malwarebytes does indicate it as a trojan virus. But when I scan the file with my antivirus it detects nothing.

    It could have something to do with malwarebytes updating the program recently and is mistaking it for a virus.

    I left it alone and did not delete the file.
