The tool may be helpful for some wanting to change their display settings right away or take advantage of special hotkeys. Because of its spelling, some malware may come in the form of slightly altered spellings which are actual malware. Pay close attention to spelling of the file running and understand how it is really spelt. If you check the file’s property, it should also say “Intel” on the descriptions.
It is really rare for a problem involving igfxtray.exe to arise since it stays idle most of the time unless the user interacts with it. If ever problems do arise, it is best to make sure you update your drivers to the latest version. Some driver updates may also have updates to that tray application fixing bugs and adding new features. This problem may occur too if you install this on a computer that isn’t using the Intel graphics processor. Intel has a chip identifier utility to help with that so no time is wasted when installing.
There are two main common Trojans that are used to disguise in the form of the igfxtray.exe executable file, the first drops an infected executable file holding the same name of the igfxtray.exe executable file of the Windows operating system and this infected executable file spreads widely through your system causing severe huge harm to it. The other Trojan horse worm spreads through the RPC DCOM in Windows XP.
I wouldn't worry about it Skybird, it's not a trojan,
