    Hi,
    I downloaded from saitek.com , and I installed the SST Software V.6.6.6.9 in C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Saitek\Saitek_Cyborg_V3_Pad_SD6_32_Software\00000010\
    the dll setup_0a.dll is detected as malware, here is the Prevx Log:

    End of Prevx Scan Log - http://www.prevx.com

    Please note I did not include all the log is very large

    Why Saitek includes in their software malware?

    the setup_0a.dll is listed in driverscollection.com

    Also I uploaded to VT the file and have the same results:
    ~snipped as per forum policy~ TH

    I sent an email to techsupport@madcatz.com in order to answer my question.

    As soon as they reply I will let you know

    Second

    In the contact Saitek form is not included Mexico, WHY?

    I can see Spain, so Saitek has to have support in Spanish, If Saitek think in Mexico we not buy, trade or sell Saitek products they are wrong

    http://listado.mercadolibre.com.mx/Saitek

    Ok this not eBay but Mexicans know about Saitek

    Malware in their software
    and no Mexico support listed!! for me Saitek is not a serious company

    Now what I should do? Can I open Eset windows, go to Quarantine and add the file dll setup_0a.dll? will be fine this way?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me

    I've fixed the FP, but in the future, please report false positives directly to report@prevxresearch.com so that our research team will be able to correct them :)
