    You're also only seeing one side of the detections :) Many of the FPs reported here have been detected by 5+ other AV engines as well, and that's just on VirusTotal - the rest are virtually all heuristic based and compared to a behavior blocker which shows 10-20 popups for every program installed, I think one or two heuristic detections every few months when installing new programs is relatively reasonable :)

    did not mean it did but, when you see the minimal correction of FPs in the software, well then, the boys have it just about dialed in perfectly. You know.

    Yes, true, but then a new infection comes around which uses a slightly different technique and then the battle starts over, which is why the news of AVs blocking extremely popular files like explorer.exe or user32.dll (which exist on literally every computer) tend to pop up once in a while :)

    Hi,
    today I have an alert from Prevx Edge about the file schannel.dll, found in System32 directory. This machine runs Win Vista 32bit, english, SP1. The strange thing is that if I do a manual scan Edge does not detect the threat. But once every 30 minutes alerts me about the schannel.dll file.

    The file scanned online and locally with other security software (a-squared, MBAM, SAS, Clamav, Avast) appears clean.

    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Could you save a scan log by clicking Tools > Save Scan Results and then send me the line from the file which includes schannel.dll (or the whole file if you want :)). I'll see what is triggering the warning :)

    Hi,
    thanks for the reply. Please inform me on how to send you the file.
    In any case the only line that has to do with schannel.dll is the following:

    [G] (ACTIVE) c:\windows\system32\schannel.dll [PX5: AD2D6B260015D573186404B9EAAE1D00DBA92559]
