    right, because i've been in contact with zone alarm and they clame that the PC tune up detection is a false positive. further they do not know why you would see the detection as not a false positive.

    however i now know what steps need to be taken by the information provided.

    This Product (MyRegistryCleaner) tries to forge a registry key of TuneUp:
    Original registry keys of TuneUp:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TuneUp Utilities 201*
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TuneUp Utilities 201*

    * -depending on the version can be 2012 or 2013 or 2014

    Registry key of MyRegistryCleaner:
    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1450397661-1435015462-659334915-1000\Software\Large Software\PC Tune-Up
