Never seen this file until I installed WIN7 7100.
 
I was just typing the same thing :)
 
Use a command prompt to navigate to your System32 folder. Remove the file's -h, -s attributes "attrib -h -s mctadmin.exe", copy it to your desktop.

Now upload the file to VirusTotal. It will tell you if there's anything wrong with it. The file is scanned realtime by 20 scanners.

Well, I did google it and some site said it was a software installed by MS, and others says it might be a trojan. Which is why I asked to see if anyone else has it on their system.

Anyways, I disabled it from starting up and now my computer ram usage went from 800+ to about 680-700+. On idle. Computer is still running fine with no errors, so if it's a software installed by MS, I guess I don't really need it.

Nice
 
Did you scan it with a AV?
