Default An unusual false positive in MS-AntiSpyware


"personal antispyware" is detected as a key logger (which
is not true as much as i know), this false positive only
shows up when "perfect keylogger" is installed on the
system.....

i dont know, but the detection of this false positive
seems to depend on the installation of "perfect keylogger"

Hmm - this sounds more like a misdetection than a false positive. Surely
you want any keylogger to be detected, right?

Check out the criteria for inclusion listed here:

identifies a program as a spyware threat (Listing criteria and Dispute
process)
