MicroGaming - Malware or no?

Hi there!

I've recently installed Royal Vegas Poker to participate in a third party tournament they are hosting. Participating has become an extremely low priority since a daily scan from Ad-Aware resulting in a "critical" malware hit after installing the program. There does not appear to be a TAC page for MicroGaming, so I thought I would check here to see if it is indeed Malware or if a property of the poker software is causing a false positive. I've already written Royal Vegas Poker about it this morning, so it will be interesting to see if I receive a response.

I don't know if I'll need help removing it yet as Ad-Aware seems to do the trick. At least, after I've run Ad-Aware twice, the third time comes up clean. Of course, if I run the Royal Vegas Poker software, the hit comes up again. It kind of reminds me of WildTangent.

Anyway, this is the Ad-Aware log. If you'll require anything else, such as HiJackThis, just let me know.

Thanks!

Don
