here is the picture

 

Just click on the malware name or just visit this page:

http://www.emsisoft.com/en/malware/?Riskware

 

it doesnt tell me what that malware does?

 

PSKill is a tool to enumerate and kill certain processes. While this is nothing malicious by itself it can be (and actually is) used in a malicious way by script malware for example. Therefor its detected as Riskware.

 

ok thanks.

 

some times when i open IE and firefox they just close. i dont know why. could it be what was picked up by asquared?

 

It looks like the file is located in the folder for your BT Broadband. So it is most likely used for remote assistance by tech support when you call for your cable or ADSL support. I would recommend saving it into a zip archive or encrypt the file. That way it can't do anything malicious on your computer unless you unzip it or unencrypt it. Also, if you every need assistance from your BT, you can just unzip it or un-encrypt it. (Another alternative it to delete it, since you can download a new copy from sysinternal.com whenever you want)
