You should remove Windows Attention Utility as soon as possible; otherwise it may cause even more problems. 

Windows Attention Utility will display fake alerts stating that your computer in infected with Keyloggers and other malicious software. It will rate major components of your system by given scores. They are usually very low. It will also block other programs on your computer randomly and states that they are infected or potentially harmful. Windows Attention Utility is nothing more but a scam.
