Possibly unknown NEW Heur_PE virus (if my dutch is still up to speed)
As a matter of interest: What is the full name of the virus program? Never heard of it before.
Note: if the program is any good, then you should be able to submit files that should be ok but cause an alarm (that's a false positive) to the publishers.
Currently downloading some of them while having to wait for that . Anyway, I hope they're not for a limited time though. If they work well, I'll be very happy since Kingdoms on my PC has a bit of lag in the long run.

it tells me that Unlocker is a virus !!!!!!! Should I download it ?????
most likely its your virus software is seeing it has/asking for too much access, like a virus would, thus is a danger to your computer.
If your nervous about it, don't use it, is my general suggestion. Plus for most of things like what you would use it for, if you load your computer in the msconfig mode of basic windows services only (which is like a scaled down safe mode with more computer access) you should be able to get rid of any non windows file, and if your going around deleting windows files, you know more than i do about computers, so ignore me

oh, and one other thing, I recommend running cccleaner's registry cleaner (op) in safe mode only, as it gets more and is generally safer and less likely to mess up anything if your in safe mode. Although I have never had a problem with ccleaner itself as its a pretty safe/low risk registry cleaner.
