libexpat.dll is tagged as PeopleOnPage. libexpat.dll is
an open source XML parser from AT&T research (Graphvis) and my company uses it in one of our applications. We've had to place a "Does your software contain spyware" FAQ on our web site to try to curb some of the phone calls by customers. This false positive has cost our company quite a bit of time and effort and I hope MicroSoft removes it from the list of files involved with the PeopleOnPage spyware and bases the identification of PeopleOnPage on files unique to PeopleOnPage. |

Thanks for the report Glen.
I'm a little concerned--this false positive has been reported for a fairly long time. Are you on the current build of Microsoft Antispyware (see help, about, and look for .509) and definitions? (also see help, about, and look for 5699) Since it is your app which is being adversely affected, please report this false positive to the Spynet site at the URL below: http://www.spynet.com/falsepositive.aspx -- FAQ for Microsoft Antispyware: http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm "Glen" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:092a01c53155$06d1ef90$a501280a@phx.gbl... > libexpat.dll is tagged as PeopleOnPage. libexpat.dll is > an open source XML parser from AT&T research (Graphvis) > and my company uses it in one of our applications.
