Something funny...

Just had to log a PSS call with Microsoft and the website
(http://premier.microsoft.com) prompts you to install an
ActiveX Componnet "WinREP". Obivously some kind reporting
tool for Microsoft's benefit.

Just looking through AntiSpyware's "Systems Explorer" at
the "Downloaded ActiveX Programs" and it is saying
that "WinREP" is an unknown ActiveX Program (even though
it comes from Microsoft)!!??!

I know this is only a Beta and I shouldn't knock it but I
do find that amusing...

Good catch--there are lots of these, and getting them reported is part of
the function of this beta.

False Positives are best reported in the .signatures group.
