    I've recently installed an anti-spyware program called SpywareDetector. NOD32 v2.5 identifies this program's executable as a probable new virus. It continues to do this even though I've set the relevant file in AMON's exclusion list. How do I fix this?:
    Time Module Object Name Threat Action User Information
    23/02/2006 22:54:06 Kernel file c:\program files\spywaredetector\sdservice.exe probably unknown NewHeur_PE virus

    i think u have to add the file using both the long file name and the 8.3 file name format (short file name). go over this thread for details

    Beware! There're a lot of "AntySpyware" applications that request you to pay to clean the system or install adware!.
    Some examples are: SpySheriff, SpyAxe, etc.
    I'm not sure about this application, but beware. Try to Google them.
    Anyway if you think that it's a FP, send the file in question in a RAR or Zip password protected file to samples at eset.com

    Hi Sir Carew - many thanks for the links - Spyware Warrior's page includes this note:
    Note on Spyware Detector: Spyware Detector was listed on this page because of concerns with false positives. Testing with the latest version of Spyware Detector indicates that the problems with earlier versions have been satisfactorily resolved. Thus, we can no longer consider Spyware Detector to be "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware.
    [A: 7-10-05 / U: 1-10-06]
    I've now added Spyware Detector's containing Program Files folder to the exclusion list as well as the specific trigger file, as per attached screen shot. Detections now seem to have stopped, so maybe only the folder name exclusion is working??

    Try to delete the folder from exclusion list to see if NOD32 still detect the file in question.
    Anyway I recommend you to compress the file to RAR or ZIP file with infected as password and send it to samples at eset.com
    Thus, Eset guys can have a look at this file and if it's a FP, they can fix this.
