    Hi There,
    I joined this site yesterday and have downloaded ariskkey.exe. Before installing it I did the usual virus scan using Zonealarm and not-a-virus:pSWTool.Win32.Aster.55
    was detected.
    Is it safe to run this software or should I delete it without opening it.
    Regards
    Spikey123.

    Personally, I don't run any utilities like this but it's up to you. As far as it being an actual infection, it's more of a Vulnerability than an infection IMO. Most antispy/virus programs will flag this as an infection simply because of its actions.
