This is located in XP operating system in c:\windows\options\cabs. This should not be treated as a virus or malware, but it is being moved to the chest during scans

Hi legaldeejay,

What version do you have, what size and what MD5 hash for this executable is given, see: htxp://www.processchecker.com/file/lansetx.exe.html
and here: htxp://systemexplorer.net/db/lansetx.exe.html
Also consider this scan where one instance was flagged unsafe: htxp://f.virscan.org/lansetx.exe.html (enable links with http for htxp)
The virustotal scan results will also provide with enough details to see whether we deal with a FP here,

OK, I will do so, but FYI, this only happened after installing Version 7 and it passes malwarebytes which I also have installed.

Hi legaldeejay,

Just to make sure beyond any doubt. Also think it is more than likely a false positive find,
