False Positive for Adwcleaner?

dans AdwCleaner par ****

Hello,

I've recently done a scan on my computer with AdwCleaner - out of a couple of false positives, I can't figure this one out. I've tried looking it up, but no dice. Any advice is appreciated.

Even if this .exe could result of some performance hit on some PC i don't think delete this registry will have good result for the OS. 

Win10 x64
