Avira and Spyware Terminator wizz match.

Anyone running Avira and ST after update of both having problems with Avira flagging ST with a rootkit?

 

Yeah, i had the same problem last night. Sent them the spywareterminatorshield.exe as a false positive, and today I got an email from them telling it's a FP, and that it'll be fixed in one of the next database updates. This is like the 10-th time AntiVir flags ST as either HEUR suspicious file or in this case even a rootkit. I really don't get it how come they have never been able to somehow 'whitelist' that file once for good

 

Apparently a monthly occurrence...http://forum.spywareterminator.com/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=3058

 

My post had nothing to do with the authors question, thus it is deleted. Sorry.

 

Thank's for the response people,ps. no thank's on Spybot.
It seems the two companies do not like each other and will not play nice together,lol.

 

I don't think it's anything to do with like, (although ST seems to be getting a little impatient) but more to do with how the Avira heuristics operate when scanning for rootkits following a def's update, from what I gather.
I'm a contented Avast! user, so don't have the problem.

 

It's fixed for now, anyway.
