This is an old exe file that I have had for years, but today Avast detected a threat.
Virustotal.com gives a 2/46 result:

Could this be a false positive?

Pondus is right here, also consider this info here: http://www.file.net/process/dvddecrypter.exe.html
The find up of registry defragmentation could have been a reason for that FP...
But it has never been seen as a threat: http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.runscanner.net/lib/DVDDecrypter.exe.html&sa=U&ei=AI2LUcKFEonE0QX4voDIDg&ved=0CBgQFjAAOAo&usg=AFQjCNHNrSSom1DOxAxJSM2AIZfbnKxBYw

OK guys, I assume it would be safe to restore the file from the chest. I would like to use it, you see.
Thanks!
