Possible False Positive-SmitFraudFix

Here we go- got this when tried to open this file. As far as I'm concerned SmitFraudFix is a well-respected removal tool recommended by trustworthy sites like Majorgeek, Bleepingcomputer, Spywareinfo etc.
It is good against a number of new (or old) spyware - threats, likes of Spywaresheriff, SpyHeal, SpyQuake.

It is not a false positive. PrcView is a Potentially Dangerous Application and it is detected by a bunch of scanners. This has previously been beat to death.

Are we talkin' about the same thing, Mate? U think it's a virus?

 

Description:

This is a non-malicious tool that can be used for malicious intention.

This tool is designed to display detailed information about processes that are running under the Windows system.

Remote malicious users, through third-party applications, can use this utility to kill a running process or activate any application on a Windows system.

This tool runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.

 

Yes we are talking about the same thing. The Process.exe found in the SmitFraud removal script is a PDA and is detected as such. Easiest fix is to turn off PDA in AMON.

Hence the Potential Dangerous Application detection.

I've already excluded this process in AMON (interimly). I scanned my sytem but it's clear. I am absolutely well aware of this procedures (AMON, IMON, exlusion etc.), just was surprised to see SmitFraud there...
Only one thing I forgot: that I set AMON to maximum - protection /ala Blackspears So all good if ends good: AMON just has done what it's supposed 2 do.
Thanx 4 Your comment, anyway!

No prob... I live with PDA off on everything here myself. Way too many dangerous applications living on my computer and my server. NOD32 would go nuts if I turned it on.
