What is it detected as?

If you can get the author involved, the quickest way to get this fixed is

I ran into this problem this morning as well with the 5709
definitions.

It is detected as Unclassified.Spyware.61; Type Spyware;
Threat Level: Severe

When you click on the Learn more about this threat link it
tells you there is no information available. I have also
just submitted this as a false positive at the URL below.

Did you check it with the 5711 definitions?

That may be a false positive. At various points, Mcafee,
Norton, and Computer Associates have had false positives
for viruses on the nsisdl.dll plugin. Perhaps the same
thing is happening with a spyware false positive for math.
dll. I have had the dll on my system for a long time. It
just started being detected as spyware.

That's useful--do you know what definition version was in place when the
detection started?

Is the issue still there with 5711 definitions?

I have my definitions set to update daily. My system
first detected the problem with the 5709 definitions. The
problem still exists with the 5711 definitions.

I hope that helps.
