A quick Google search:

Apparently it could be a keylogger, but near the bottom it says it isn't malicious and could be added to the exclusion list. It has something to do with hotkeys for an application you're running.

Yahoo! answers seems to of pointed out that Kaspersky is just being over protective, and that this keylogger always comes under fire.

So in short, it seems to be okay, but I'd wait for someone else to reply so you get a better scope :)

I don't own Kaspersky but the first link mentioned something about exclusion lists.

^ Does the above image look right to you? It looks like you have the option when it comes up in the scanner. Not sure if there is an option to add to the exclusion list any other way :)

Also, 20,000 posts :D

Hmmm, not sure then. I'm going by what Google comes up with, but apparently you maybe able to reach it by clicking reports or finding something on detections. It's weird the images show the options when it looks like it doesn't exist for everyone :/
