My Firewall/Process Monitor shows an alert saying that Trojan Remover wants to create a service called TRDUMMYnn (where nn are random numbers). Is it safe to allow this?

Yes, you should allow this action. TRDUMMYnnn is part of Trojan Remover’s routines to check for stealthed (rootkit) drivers. Basically, Trojan Remover writes a dummy service entry to the registry, just to confirm that it has write access. The entry is immediately deleted. You should instruct your Firewall/Process Monitor to always allow this.
