1 edit | NIS 2008 - Another False Positive- Weather Pulse V2.05 B36
NIS 2008 has started detecting program Weather Pulse as Trojan.AdClicker as 21-Nov-07. I've been running Weather Pulse for over 2 years and it has never been detected by any security program as a security risk. Weather Pulse 2.05, Build 36 on Vista Business
»www.tropicdesigns.net
Note: It does NOT detect WP V2.10 Beta 4 as Trojan.AdClicker. |

All's well so far |
Only -- Rising 20.19.20.00 2007.11.21 Trojan.Spy.Win32.Delf.a flagged the install file.
I ran the setup program and so far no alerts.
EDIT TO ADD Ran full system scan and no problems.
Could you provide the log details??

When I attempted to Restore the quarantined file, NIS hung for over 5 minutes and the program was not restored correctly. I attempted to re-install it, but NIS 2008 kicked it out during the installation at Trojan.Adclicker.
I installed V2.10 Beta4 with no problems. |

| Same problem here also. As soon as NAV did today's weekly update I got an alert. I had to use the task manager to end BOTH weatherpulse and NAV because the alert would not go away. I uninstalled weatherpulse and had to reboot because the alert would still not let me do anything.
I just did a TrojanHunter scan which is done. It is clean but I had already uninstalled the offending program program. I am scanning with NAV now. I am sure this is a false positive, I have had this program on the computer for about 3 years. My version of NAV is older but the defs are the same. |

They also have a thread about this at the Tropic Designs forums:
»tropicdesigns.net/modules.php?na···c&t=1069
It's not just NIS 2008 that this is happening with. I'm using NAV2006 and just got hit with it this evening. It completely disabled WeatherPulse. I was able to download and install the 2.10 Beta 4 with no problems and no hits.
I tried to submit the file to Symantec but I wasn't able to. The submit button was greyed out.
