sry Avast! erased it, i have another file named 13ar100030.pdb and thats write 0 k Natan - I've also gotten false positives from Sunbelt Counterspy and from Webroot Spysweeper. Sunbelt identified a file in a very old MS Best of Entertainment as part of some malware. Guaranteed it's not. Spysweeper even identified the normal startup items in WinXP [imail, mapi and msfs] as critical malware. I remember getting a warning from, I believe, Counterspy, about WCG, but don't remember exactly. Another way to look at this is: What would motivate malware authors to put something into WCG's folder? There's only a couple hundred thousand pc's with that folder. And, as a group, they are on pc that are protected better than average. |
