Spyware Doctor False positive

MY freeware copy of spyware doctor picked this up during a scan and despite running NOD32 as well as Ewido in safe mode with System restore turned off both failed to find it. A quick google confirmed that this is definitely a trojan though exactly what it does I'm not sure.

These were all in the registry.

What is this?

 

Re: NOD32 missed repsamo trojan

Hi Holden4th:

If you have (had) an ATI video card, then this is most likely a false positive.

Do not worry, you are not infected, those registry keys are merely used by ATI's menu.

All they change is when one right clicks on the desktop one no longer sees the option for ATI Catalyst Control Center, that is all.

 

Re: NOD32 missed repsamo trojan

Yes, I do have an ATI video card. After I deleted the (repsamo) files from my registry my ATI Catalyst Control desktop icon wouldn't work - not surprising considering. This prompted me to go to the ATI website and upgrade to the latest drivers so there is a positive spin off for all this.

Thanks for your help.

 

Re: NOD32 missed repsamo trojan

Glad it all worked out for ya. I have also taken the Liberty to edit the title and move the thread to a more appropriate Forum in hopes that the Spyware Doctor folks will drop by and notice the False positive you have found.

It seems other Anti-Spyware programs have had ATI False positive issues in the past reported on other Forums but with different names.

MS Antispyware F/P?

Mzs.spoolserver32, probable false positive
