|
|
I just had Microsoft Security Essentials (Windows Defender) alert on c:\Program Files\Event Log Explorer\elex.exe as Virus:Win32/Induc.A
http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?name=Virus%3aWin32%2fInduc.A&threatid=2147627628
I am trying to report this as a false positive. _________________ E5200 2.5GHZ, 4GB RAM, 160GB HD, Windows 7 64bit, avast! V5 Free, IE8 with Finjan SecureBrowsing,

Microsoft and AVAST! no longer detect it, although three other stragglers still seem to. Those guys probably need to tighten up their heuristics:

MSE is in Beta, a bug(?), or could it be looking at a quarantine of the previous zip? What about AVAST, now? VirusTotal currently gives the elex.exe a completly clean scan and its scanners include both Microsoft and AVAST:

On my old XP Home system I un-installed MSE and rebooted then installed Windows Defender and just updated its defenitions and did a Quick scan and Event Log Explorer was not detected as bad. _________________ E5200 2.5GHZ, 4GB RAM, 160GB HD, Windows 7 64bit, avast!
