Re: Ad-Aware Sept. 12 Update - FP??

Thanks, Janie. I restored the quarantined files and waiting to hear about a fix before I put the stuff back in quarantine.

I seem to have a very similar problem: After I downloaded the LavaSoft AdAware new definitions today, I got this:

I thought it was odd that I'd picked up stuff without going anyplace unfamiliar. Have restored the items from quarantine, as well. Thanks.

FP! These two are related to inetctls.inet and are totally valid for at least some VB & VB.Net applications, especially for developers. If you remove them, I bet your VB apps won't run, compile, and/or load properly.

I do not know about the BarginBuddy entry.
{d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000}

Fortunately I was thinking FPs as soon as I saw these. So I ran full bore Norton AV, SpyBot, Windows Defender, Hijack,etc., none of which found or reported these.

so what if you've already deleted all these entries and don't have them in quarantine.

can they be replaced from another source?

Me too just now. I ignored them after reading this forum. Thank you!

Is it me or have there been too many FPs lately?

FPs are the reason to always quarantine and not delete.

I'm still a bit puzzled

I checked my statistics in ad-aware and it said;

Win32.Trojan.Agent ---- Total found 2 --- Total Removed 1

I know you've made a new Definition file, but why, originally, did it only remove one of the two it found?

and on a side note... to the posted reply of ...

Hi,

I didn't know about the trojan downloader false positive.

In panic, I deleted the quarantine file.
I don't use System Restore, and disabled Adaware's creation of logs since the first use.

Can anyone put in rapidshare, the quarantine file of the trojan downloader false positives? that would be the job of someone from Lavasoft, since quarantines changes from user to user. Lavasoft would be kind, if created a "master" quarantine file of all the possible trojan downloader's registry entries.

Thanks a lot.

Antdude,

My detected key was using that update. Internal build 150 though, are you refering to a change in the internal build, or will it be a different definitions.
