PgcEdit Contains Unwanted Programs?

[rastevens1]

PgcEdit contains an unwanted program called Remadm-PSkill

Virus scan picked this up it up.

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.

Can this program be deleted and still have PgcEdit still work?

A known issue that's explained on the PGCedit homepage:

Haven't had any issues with PgcEdit at all & I have had it for a while now.

Thanks for the Info

Virus warning: Some very picky antivirus programs (notably McAfee) are reporting that PgcEdit.exe or PSKill.exe is a potentially unwanted program (not a virus!)
This is because PSKill.exe by Sysinternals (a very serious company) is embedded in the PgcEdit executable. Though PSKill can be used to remotely kill processes, it is used by PgcEdit only to kill the MKISOFS process when the user aborts the ISO creation when burning a DVD.
Be assured that PgcEdit doesn't make malicious tricks on your computer!

@rastevens1: You can safely delete PSKill.exe from the bin folder if you don't want to use PgcEdit to burn your DVDs. But it will be reinstalled whenever you update PgcEdit.

I am currently searching for a solution to avoid the false virus alarm problem.

@rOLZ it still works great.

Change virusprogram...

AVG (free edition) don't report any problems.

My McAfee doesn't but again my McAfee is f'ed up. It randomly crashes Explorer... wtf. I will reinstall

The abort feature is necessary for burn and PSKill does a great job. Tell McAfee to shove it.

Thabks All For Your Input

Thanks everyone for your input regarding this great program. I've had trouble with Virus's and became very worried. This is trully a great program and does a great job. Congrats to the person who created it.
My Mcfree deleted the program would you recommend reinstalling everything. I used the program in Phase 2 and Phase 3. Works simply great.I only used it once but it made things so much easier.Thanks for the advice.

PSKill will be re-created when you get a new verison of PgcEdit. If you don't burn with PgcEdit don't worry. If you do wanna burn with it, then simply delete the bin sub-folder and re-open PgcEdit. The bin sub-folder and everything that's meant to be in it will be re-created.
