When I update malwarebytes database today and scan my computer I get result that file ChPrio.exe which is located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Tools is infected. This file is not modified since 2009 and this is crucial system file, is this false positive?

Yes. Its not a file by microsoft but a file leftover from a install. It is a valid file though and not malware.

I had same problem year ago, with same file. Than you said that it is a valid file, leftover after some installation. You can see original file (which is not modified since than) in here: http://forums.malwar...showtopic=88005 . Then it was called: (Rogue.SystemSmartSecurity).
