Microsofts antispyware beta 1 gave me a false positive on
a adware program called SearchSquire. It is really a definition for Spybot's Search and Destroy Anti spyware program which is a well known and trusted antispy app. By deleting this definition you will get less protection from searchsquire adware as spybot is no longer protecting you from it. |

I'm also getting the "SearchSquire" False positive and I
know a few more people in a forum I belong to are also getting it. Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware SE 1.05 don't find it. I also found that this was a know FP with GiantAS also. This info can be found here => http://www.wilderssecurity.com/show...3826#post333826. If this was a known issue with GiantAS why was it not fixed before the MS AS was unvieled? I also found that IE-SPYADS adds the "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchsquire.com] "*"=dword:00000004" reg key that MSAS says is spyware. Other than this I think the software rocks!!! Kent >-----Original Message----- >Microsofts antispyware beta 1 gave me a false positive on >a adware program called SearchSquire.
