Now, then. Ahem. Errrr, ummm.
In post #8 at Bleeping, you said "I posted trolltech first at the CCleaner forum and many are saying it isn't. Check it out."
That is not true. It is an understandable miscommunication, but nevertheless it is not true.
Huge Roll Eyes….
I stand by what I said as being true and correct. First you state as if it is not malware or a big enough threat to attempt to remove it on your XP machine which isn’t even supported anymore. See Post 7. Then in post 9 you vascillate indicating it might be but your comment is convoluted and not succinct enough to make any determination. Hazelnut states it is “not malware”. eL_PuSHeR says it is “not malware”. Nergal agrees it belongs to an application thus is legit. Andavari doesn’t seem to think it is malware either. Looks like it is 4-1 as indifferent or positively not malware. You being the only possible person who thinks it might be. Hard to tell though because you waiver. I might add that Hazelnut was wrong with this comment:

I see nothing in that thread that says it is sophisticated malware.
It was in the title of the post as I responded to her.
Here is a more in depth analysis of the facts. Perhaps you should evaluate the facts before you make accusations.

hazelnut stated (Posted 29 May 2014 - 12:32 AM) Just right click on the entry and select 'add to exclude list'.
We can conclude that ignoring this key by excluding it shows there is no
concern it is a malware threat.

I have the troll tech one too (I've previously researched it and agreed it belonged to an application I use but don't remember which) so I excluded it (hazelnut's suggestion above). For the registry it's best to only remove what you know you don't need (see my signature below)
So it belongs to an application and was excluded then ignored so we can conclude that there was no effort to treat or remove it as malware.

I have that registry entry, Nergal & Hazelnut also do, so probably that entry by itself does not mean malware. But from what I found using Googe & Duck Duck Go it might mean that. I would not conclude that it does unless one of the malware experts says so.
So login123 thinks the entry is by itself “probably” does not mean malware. He then references searches stating it “might” mean that. (that the entry by itself probably does not mean malware). He won’t conclude that the entry by itself probably does not mean malware.
Hazelnut then states, “Posted 29 May 2014 - 11:37 PM
I am 100% certain that the entry I have is NOT malware.

I have that entry too. And it's not malware. It's related to a legit (and free) program I use, using the QT framework.
Andavari Posted Yesterday, 03:34 PM doesn’t seem to think it is malware either.
I think allot of people could freak out over just the name having "Troll" in it. Probably the same feelings would come if it was "VirusTech".
