Amon Alerted on PPMemCheck.exe

I'm both a NOD32 (1.355) and PestPatrol user. While using PPUpdater to download the latest version PPMemCheck.exe, NOD32's Amon resident scanner alerted on PPMemCheck.exe as a probable virus. I suspect that this is a false positive so I have taken no action except to submit a copy of PPmemCheck.exe to samples@nod32.com.

Does anyone else use both NOD32 and PestPatrol? If so have you run PPUpdater today and did it trigger a NOD32 AMON alert?

Regards,
Bob

 

Yes and Yes.

PS: It is almost certainly a false positive.

 

Thanks Jim for your post which strengthened my belief that it is indeed a false positive. However, I'm going to wait until I hear back from ESET before I scan my system again with PestPatrol so as to avoid opening the PPMemCheck.exe file.

When I was running Pestpatrol my Kav picked up the PPmem as a WIN 32 pest and would wipe it out lol so I need to put it on ignore. Good to see that others wipe out PP as they seem to try with other products lol

 

Hi candle,

I don't know about Kav and PP but up unitil today NOD32 and PP have coexisted on my system just fine.

HI Me, That was the same ,until I updated Pestpatrol , then for some reason it would all start . I seem to get into all sorts of hassles with My pestpatrol after each update .I just couldnt seem to get it flowing right afterwards each time.

 

Just to be clear. I think the problem I described is NOT PestPatrol's fault. But as often happens, I could be wrong.

Regards

 

One thing about Pestpatrol there help desk is excellent and they do give the very best of support .

A few months ago NOD32 tagged one of PestPatrol's updates as having a suspected virus. It was fixed very quickly ... you must have missed it.

Conflicts between antivirus detection strings are not uncommon ... it happens to everyone sooner or later because we all approach detection from a different angle ... but it seems to have been happening quite a lot to PestPatrol updates over recent months, with a number of different antivirus programs.

 

Hi rod,

The reason I missed it the last time this happened was because until Dec 2002 I was a PC-cillun 2000 user. I understand that NOD's flagging of the PestPatrol's file is no big deal and I'm sorry if I sounded as if I thought it was. Actually, I'd rather my security software give me a false alarm whenever something looks fishy, rather than just ignore it. I'm already used to PestPatrol alerting on legitimate files but now it seems PP is getting a case of its own medicine.

I just updated PP and ran a scan without a peep from NOD32. I feel so neglected and confused

 

Me too, I feel left out
