Rising reports one of Daniel Terhell's files (LatencyMon.exe) as "Malware.Heuristic!ET (rdm+)". But that is most likely a false positive. I'm resubmitting LatencyMon.exe for a fresh scan over at VirusTotal. Please check back in 15 minutes and it should be finished.

Rising does no longer detect LatencyMon.exe. Now VBA32 reports "TScope.Trojan.Delf" for LatencyMon.exe. I think that is also false positive and that the file is safe and free from malware.
