I can't remember now if I tried to remove it.  I was afraid to remove it recently because I don't know what program is using it.  I think it looks little weird, as little as I know about the Registry, it don't look like a normal Registry Key to me.  Honestly it has not affected my pc one bit, and this is why I have not taken care of it till now.  I also have multiple computers so no hurry, but this is my most important pc.

Thanks!

I found the Thread that I created due to this same issue.  Sorry for the confusion, but I still don't understand what it is or what to do with it?  From what Didier Stevens was saying it was okay as long as the digital signature is good, but I don't know how to check that.  Suspicious Download Results?

I also made a mistake in the first part of that thread as to what I downloaded.  This is what I downloaded "Lazesoft Recover My Password 4.2.1 Home Edition (Free)"  "lsrmphdsetup.exe"  At the bottom of THIS PAGE.

So I'm quite sure this is what I'm seeing, though don't know where the detection is coming from.  I assume it is coming from the File itself because I don't remember installing it.  Or I started to install it and thought it better not to on my main machine.  Hope that was clear, I'm not feeling well today.

What's really weird is I contacted Lazesoft a while back and they gave me this MD5: D8A1D239E6F74318BC0362C75D7CFA07 for that file.  And even gave me a Link to the same file but not the cnet link I guess.  I downloaded it and the MD5 above did not match.  I gave up, but I should have contacted them and told them the Hash did not match.

If you want I can just delete that file and run another scan.

Hi,

Your logs are clean.

Right click on the the file lsrmphdsetup.exe and check where it's from.

You can submit the file to VirusTotal to find out if it's safe.

Follow the instructions on the page.

As for the item reported by MBAM run the tool and delete it.

Hi,

I should mention Virus Total Community score was    -12, That's a Negative 12.  But that is just opinion I would guess.

The only one I see at VirusTotal is this one.

Was your link the same?

Post it if you have it.

Yes, the Link is the same. 

The mistake was, they seemed to have sent me the wrong link, and instead linked me to the download for "lsrshsetup.exe", instead of the one I wanted: lsrmphdsetup.exe.  I didn't look at it closely to see it was not the same download.  The "lsrshsetup.exe" is the one that had the bad Reputations.  All good now, thanks for taking the time to get me straightened out.  I know this for sure as I have a copy of the email with the link, so there is my confusion.  

I did Quarantine the file and re-scanned and all looks good.

Just re-scanned the "lsrshsetup.exe" at VirusTotal and HERE is what I got.  It took longer this time than it did before, and unfortunately showed one detection.

I will Delete this folder once you have all the info you wanted.  I don't need this software anyhow, it is already on my other computer from the lsrmphdsetup.exe, which is the one I wanted.
