PI.EXE is a file for Dos games that run in Windows and is installed to
the Windows file. It is a legit file and not a trojan as Malwarebytes
claimed when I ran a scan yesterday.

There is a particularly vicious malware program with the name pi.exe that
often renames itself.

Yes, I read that when I had to do the double-check before delete dance.
Shouldn't Malwarebytes be able to tell the legit version from the bad
version though? I thought progs like this scan inside the file and not
call it a trojan just going by the file name.
