HackTool.Shutdown

[jmount1068]

I downloaded Superfast Shutdown from XP Smoker.com .It said that it would most likely be picked up by Anti-Virur/Spyware programs and is not a virus,just ignore the warning.Malwarebytes call it HackTool.Shutdown .Any word on this as it works great,but there must be a reason why all the bells and whistlees are going off.Please advise me on this as I'm confused because it does what it's supposed to but what else is the problem?
