I was wondering why McAfee wants to get rid of PgcEdit so badly, and why the information about it says what it does...it was listed three times (three files). McAfee catagorizes it as a 'potentially unwanted program' and it's listed with another program that I don't want to get rid of 'Aware files' of all things. I really like Adware and find that to be really wierd that McAfee should call it a bad. And of course I really NEED PgcEdit so I've gotta leave it too, but why all the hype by McAfee?
Listed below is a table that McAfee links PgcEdit to (table is compromised by copy/paste) and some other information below the table.
I'd appreciate some reasurance about both programs if anyone's got any
Thanks a lot,

Threat Profile: RemAdm-PSKill
Risk Assessment
- Home Users: N/A
- Corporate Users: N/A
Date Discovered: 2/27/2002
Date Added: 12/23/2002
Origin: Sysinternals
Length: 77,824 bytes
Type: Program
SubType: -
DAT Required: 4190
Program Characteristics
This detection is an application type, for a "potentially unwanted application". The program can terminate processes on local or remote WinNT or Win2K systems. This tool was built for use by administrators to do remote system administration.
However, this application has been used by many trojans, such as the Egghead trojan for malicious purposes.
The current command-line scanner detects such applications with the additional /PROGRAM switch, as does VirusScan 7 (via configuration pages).
