Dell Dock Trojan?

Question

I have a similar issue like one posted earlier.  I have the Inspiron Zino HD running Windows 7.  Dell Dock was pre-installed, and I use it all the time.  However, I have a file cleaner installed called FCleaner.  I have Dell Dock exempted from the scan, yet every time I run the cleaning utility, at next reboot, Dell Dock is gone.  Not only gone from the desktop, but also from my start menu and Dell sub-directory.  I suspect that there is something in the software itself that is being detected as a trojan or other malware.  I can reinstall it from the download website, but that's such a hassle.  I use FCleaner because the program got such high ratings from CNET and users alike, but I'm afraid I may have to choose between that utility or Dell Dock if I don't want to continue to have to reinstall Dell Dock.

I personally use and recommend Malwarebytes. I have cleaned clients PC's of malware that other malware/spyware programs missed.

I'll check out that section--thanks.  I actually DO use Malwarebytes program, but that does not appear to clean out the temp files, registry files, etc.  I like to use a utility in conjunction with it to remove the 'deposits,' as I like to call them.
