I bought Asus Rog Pugio mouse about a week ago and installed the armory program as guided in the instructions given.
(for Win 7 64-bit)
Later I noticed program NahimicAPI on the uninstall programs list installed at the same time as the armory for my new mouse.
I tought I have no need for this since it is apparently some sort of audio program that slows down the computer (according to quick google search) I clicked uninstall. Uninstaller ran and at the end of it Avast alarmed of a virus detection. I put it in the virus chest.
Was it just a false alarm or why did it get detected only when uninstalled?
this popped up from avast:

PS: for those thinking of deleting the program. Apparently it is used for Rog armory interface, since now it shows nothing when opened, but it still remembers settings so apparently it is not a big loss if all settings are done already.
