    I downloaded inSSIDer from the Metageeks website
    and when installing, Malwarebytes catches Bootstrap.exe and says it's a trojan.

    This is on Windows XP. I've installed this on vista before with no problems, and that same comp also had MBAM so I wanted to post up and be sure what was going on.

    Is this safe to ignore? Thanks in advance.

    AFAIK, there's no Windows native checksum reader. There's no md5 value on the Majorgeeks website anyway so I don't have anything to check it against.
