Hi m8.
Could you make a screenshot of the BOClean popup, and post it here please
So that Kevin can look at it when he comes online
If you are sure it is a false positive you could try the Program Excluder :

I hope it helps

Aaah, i see now
Thank you for the info and the link ! I will be more cautious with nirsoft now...
That said, seems the proggie is not a malware by himself but could be use as, or by a real malware using it... (sorry for my poor English)
Thanks again, nice to see the quality of the support here

Absolutely correct.
So, if you purposely downloaded it and intend to use it, just add it to BOClean's Program Excluder.
