IntelSoftwareAssetManagerService reported as malicious

1,629 Views

Good day,

first of all sorry if I have chosen the wrong board profile to post this question

but I found today that the IntelSoftwareAssetManagerService.exe is reported as malicious on my computer, Now I've done "some" investigating:

Source Location : C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\QUEENCREEK\Updater\bin\IntelSoftwareAssetManagerService.exe

Hash: 66dfc6bdc79f0f1d8d913ba57f9b85665cea01ce2044b415d52d7f98026ff8df

Virus total: VirusTotal - File - 66dfc6bdc79f0f1d8d913ba57f9b85665cea01ce2044b415d52d7f98026ff8df

For now I am thinking this is a false positive based on the correct certificate, but can someone please confirm that I'm not losing my mind??

Thank you in advance
