I did a Full Scan with Microsoft Security Essentials on my Windows 7 machine, and it detected "HackTool:Win32/KonBoot", From the detailed information SE gave, this detection was something inside the following file I downloaded a few years ago.
Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD) version 5.3.5.
Filename is: ubcd535.iso
Size: 598 MB (627,739,634 bytes)
I decided to remove it just to be safe ... probably won't need the Ultimate Boot CD anyway. Maybe this was part of the "hacking" ability of the Ultimate Boot CD as part of it's function to do certain things during its use ... I don't now for sure. I thought I ran a Full Scan when I first installed SE about 3 weeks ago, but it never found anything then, so maybe Microsoft has added this to their recent malware/virus definitions.
Link on Microsoft's website showing info, and the website has pretty new date (Oct 10, 2018).

Anyway, just posted this in case others need to make a scan if they have this or similar Ultimate Boot CD .iso file. Maybe it's OK, but I wanted to be safe and had SE remove it.
