    Look at the other thread on Ewido's beta 3.5. I think it very well might be a fp.

    Ewido-guys: please add an ignore function to the program. This mscomctl.ocx, for instance, is an active X component which I don't want or need to loose. But Ewido's guard is bugging me every time the pc starts up that it is there. And I can do remove or none... the last is my best option now but it is no option because the next time I startup Ewido sounds the alarm again...and again...

    An ignore list will be implemented in 3.6... As "mscomctl.ocx" is a real false positive and not a possible (un)wanted app, the best way to deal with it is to fix it :)

    On my side I still see urUninstaller flagged as a false positive... and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this program.

    Here's some FP:


    C:\Documents and Settings\me\Desktop\OutpostProInstall.exe -> TrojanDownloader.TSUpdate

    C:\Program Files\Bluetack\Blocklist Manager\MSCOMCT2.OCX -> Backdoor.Ciadoor.13
    C:\Program Files\Bluetack\Blocklist Manager\MSCOMCTL.OCX -> Backdoor.Ciadoor.13

    It also quarantined over 2000 cookies

    I sent in the txt file after a scan where all the false positives were on... so I hope you guys saw it.

    Ewido flagged a lot of legitimate programs wrongly as nasties. That is now over, apart from some programs, alas. But maybe tomorrow the next good update? :)

    The mscom files are no longer seen as nasties in Ewido as far as I can tell. About Outpost you are right... Some more work to be done.

    I ran this last night while in bed. So there's an update?
    It also quarantined over 2000 cookies
     
  17. Here are a few more false positives...there are a few FW leak tests, but the
    ones for NetVeda, XPlite and visioneer are true FPs.
    I already sent them in......Sure is a lot less than first scans.

    C:\Documents and Settings\WORK1\Desktop\Tests\surfer.exe -> Heuristic.Win32.Downloader

    lol - "Warez" - I'd be suspicious of those for sure.

    I have uruninstaller and it did not pick up on that.*edit - mine is 2004 version though.

    **edit - something funny about that. I checked and there is no such thing as Your Unistaller 2005

    In fact it's even spelled wrong!

    I'd venture to say it may not be a FP

    It's about the files...not about the directory names.

    And I have a dir in my E drive with the name warez where I put all the files that I download from legitimate corporate websites. I beta test urUninstaller for instance for the company which produces it... Just as I test Ewido, for the matter :)

    That you guys have such funny ideas tell me something about you.

    It's not my idea, it's yours (to put legit downloads and label it "warez") :D It say s something about you, not us.

    I am from Holland, maybe that makes it that I choose names that you can't understand. It could have been software too... will rename the dir, ok? ;)

    NB: I renamed the urUninstaller dir and still the same result. Of course...
