MS Antispy keylogger false positive

[just1vet]

Just got back from the MS Antispy forum. Virus definition 5709 is hitting a false positive for a key logger on (of all things) Spyware Blasters uninstall program. It appears to be fixed in the 5711 pattern. So please update your definitions before running a full scan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"It has come to my attention that the current signatures for Microsoft

 

 

 

AntiSpyware are claiming the following file contains "NS Keylogger

 

 

 

Personsal Monitor":

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

File name: Inno Setup

 

 

 

File path: C:\Program Files\[program name goes here]\unins000[Caution: ExecutableFile]

 

 

 

Publisher: None

 

 

 

File size: 640957 bytes

 

 

 

File MD5: 7f1f1e05a30a027583ff3406f48a4690

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As creator of unins000[Caution: ExecutableFile] -- the Inno Setup Uninstaller

 

 

 

(http://www.innosetup.com/), which is bundled with a variety of

 

 

 

applications (e.g. SpywareBlaster) -- I can confirm that this is a FALSE

 

 

 

ALARM. There is NO spyware of any kind in this executable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You should NOT let AntiSpyware quarantine or remove these files, or you

 

 

 

will have trouble uninstalling applications. Just ignore the reports.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have filed a vendor report, so hopefully this will be corrected soon.
