Possibly Kaspersky changed the virus definitions. It may have been thought to be dangerous and then found out that it was not. It was removed from the virus definitons.

Hi wicca

It could have been added to the Kaspersky whitelist.
Check Kaspersky Forum here and for definition of whitelist - go here.
Most trainers when released are flagged by antivirus/malware software as Trojans. It's pretty common to get false positives with game trainers. The programs (Trainers) monitor the game executables and modify things on-the-fly. In order to do this they have to use certain algorithms, and in many cases the heuristics of anti-virus programs will think these algorithms are similar to some trojans. This is not to say that all trainers are clean - some may have Trojans.

You have 3gb of memory, a 20mb difference is not enough to be worried about...
