    Hello,

    The automatic startup file check is an inclusive system and does not reference the exclusions list. It appears to me that the KMService.exe process is starting up when the machine starts and logs in. You might try disabling that startup item and see if the detections remain each time you log in.

    Further, if you have a sample of this file, we would like to analyze it in our lab to see if it is a legitimate infection. Please see this KB on how to submit a sample to us.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Dear Matt,

    This file has been sent to your lab every time when EAV found it.

    I use this file for maintaining the activation of windows 7 as a service starts at the log in.

    not many vendor treat it as a bad program but it will be much better if you can setup a exclusion box for startup scan.

    Regards.

    Galaxy
