kudos:7 | Spybot Update 8/30/04 False Positive? The latest Spybot release is flagging an entry that SpywareBlaster has set the kill bit for (SearchForIt). I would guess that allowing Spybot to fix this would just cause it to become reset in SpywareBlaster and show that you have 1 item with protection disabled. Has anyone else noticed this? For now I just put it on the excludes list.
SearchForIt: Settings (Registry key, nothing done)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\internet explorer\activex compatibility\{c109664b-ceb1-420b-b353-d55a561536dd}
SpywareBlaster has set the kill bit for this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\internet explorer\activex compatibility\{c109664b-ceb1-420b-b353-d55a561536dd}
(Default) (value not set)
Compatibility Flags 0x00000400 (1024)
--- Spybot - Search && Destroy version: 1.3 ---

Thanks sybille  . I just posted it there also but not in the Beta forum since this just came for me with today's 1.3 update: »forums.net-integration.net/index···ic=21896

Thank you. I likewise had the detection without the beta definitions, and I was torn between starting a new thread and adding to the one already started in the beta forum  .
I think you're right that it's a false positive, BTW. |

Yeah, definitely False Positive. The problem seems to be that spybot corrects it and then spywareblaster comes out with a new update just when spybot corrected the orginal one (Start-eh). So now there's a new one. |

Thanks for the heads up, although weird thing is that the "SearchforIt" button did appear in my IE at the time I ran the scan, and was deleted after I removed it via Spybot...weird, indeed, but thanks for the confirmation. |

So...the obvious thing to do is ignore it, yes? |
|
| yes, that's fine... add it to the excludes list.
in case users forget how to do that (it requires a couple extra steps)...
expand the item you wish to exclude (clcik the +)
then highlight the expanded info line
then right click that
and the excludes choice will appear on the menu
my apologies if this was already abundantly clear to everyone

Thanks for the heads up dp and for that latest link also. What I'm not understanding from that link is a post from one of the Team SpybotSD's(Buster2004)...."This entry is not a new one. Looks like, that Spywareblaster has updated their immunize feature".
Whether it's a new entry or old....SS&D is still flagging a legit ActiveX entry falsely.
Oh well....it'll all come out in the wash with a new update....no biggy. |
