    So I was running daily scans and Lavasoft Adaware picked this up.

    What is this? Been roaming around google and can't find anything about it

    FraudTool.Win32.MSRemovalTool.ek!a

    Quarantined items:
    Description: c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\iw4sp.exe

    Family Name: FraudTool.Win32.MSRemovalTool.ek!a (v) Engine: 3 Clean status: Success Item ID: 1 Family ID: 0 MD5: 891624ca69e0dd476973696516304238

    I don't even play COD any more, strange. Wonder what that has to do with anything.
