Hey - if you're referring to the CnCNetYRClient.exe, you can scan this using VirusTotal.

AFAIK there's been some controversies lately concerning the file

mph.exe

(CRC32: 6CF70229), which was being alleged by a handful of antimalware programs as supposedly carrying a trojan or somesuch. Truth of the matter is that this file has been the same since when YR was released, so unless Westwood/EA Pacific have been leveraging malware all these years which somehow had only recently come to be known, then the file is probably safe (i.e. a "false positive").
