Sorry for resurrecting a dead thread, but we, iolo technologies the makers of System Mechanic, just wanted to let everyone know (and anyone who may stumble upon this thread in the future) more about the MFC45.dat file that is being discussed. First, thank you for all of the information that everyone has submitted. It's always very helpful for us to know about each user's experience and any complications that occur while running our software simultaneously with other programs. We are constantly focused on providing a quality product for all of our users. Secondly, we'd like to let it be known that the MFC45.dat file is not harmful in anyway. The file itself was created specifically by us to provide security for our users and their product licenses as a result of the rising cracks and hacks for System Mechanic. We are aware that this file has sometimes been mistakenly detected by certain antivirus programs and we've addressed this issue in the latest update this week. Lastly, we are also working on a solution that does not require this file. We plan to have this fix addressed in a future product update. Please let us know if there are any questions or concerns that you may still have, we'd be happy to answer them! We hope this provides a better understanding about the file in question and helps alleviate any concerns. Thanks!
