Psexec.exe detected as PUA

Endpoint Security and Control V9.0 detects Psexec.exe as PUA Hacking Tool.  Message is:

File "C:\WINDOWS\PSEXESVC.EXE" belongs to adware or PUA 'PsExec' (of type Hacking tool).

I have seen this detection on machines with TweakUI installed, as well as when certain batch files are executed.  Is it safe to authorize psexec.exe, or are there common malware programs that use this as well?

Thanks!
