From what I know Gridinsoft is a legit company but Trojan Killer triggers lots of FP from my previous tests.

The fellows over at Giveaway of the Day say the program is a nightmare of massive false positives.

I think that more than a few security programs try to wow less knowledgeable users by going after files and programs on ridiculous pretexts.* The user lets the security program remove everything and ignorantly believes he's been saved from a massive malware infection.

*Example: I have IM ToolPack, a good screenshot program which comes with Crawler Toolbar, a toolbar for Internet Explorer (which I never use). Some programs have targeted Crawler Toolbar. Eek! A toolbar! The horror!
