(Redirected) Suspicious File Warning from HitmanPro

I have a Dell Inspiron desktop about one year old.  I use HitmanPro for virus protection.  Today I got this message and wondered if anyone could advise if this is harmful.

         The file is hidden from Windows API. This is typical for malware.
         The file is completely hidden from view and most antivirus products. It may belong to a rootkit.
         Starts automatically as a service during system bootup.
         The file is located in a folder that contains core operating system files from Windows. This is not typical for most programs and is only common to system tools, drivers and hacking utilities.
         The file is a device driver. Device drivers run as trusted (highly privileged) code.
      Startup
         HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\igfx\

I'm constantly getting error messages with the Edge Browser regarding display.
