Re: Real or false positive in today's Ad-Aware update?

May I recommend Firefox or Opera?
May I ask what on this Earth AdAware finding killbits set in the Registry as false-positives has to do with which browser a person uses?
%99 of the time you catch spyware using IE even If you secure it right.

That's not an answer to my question, Oleg.

*Edit- And I suspect I could find a few people to give you an argument on the veracity of that statement, as well.
hpguru See Profile, Name Game See Profile, and Link Logger See Profile for starters, I'd imagine.

If you read the thread, you'll see that all I caught was false positives.

In this case it could be just cookie.

The warning is real.
Those are in fact killbits that have been set in the Registry.
The problem is that they've been falsely identified by AdAware as an issue.

Any chance you're going to answer my original question?
