I downloaded Process Explorer from Microsoft's site (verified the certificate) and then verified the sigs on the processes. Interestingly Yandex on VT is showing a trojan. This has to be a FP right? It only shows for procexp.exe and not procexp64.exe.

Checksums match, no idea what's up with Yandex.

By the way where did you get the checksum? I looked all over the page and couldn't find one it listed.

Thanks, I’ve never dug around VT much because I’ve never had it flag anything as malicious before.
