Autoloader.A - what is it?

[Guest]

This concerns Miscosoft Windows Defender Beta 2 and the "spyware" Autoloader.A

If the .exe is A0074484.exe it is probable part of the Westwood Online
Shared Internet Components, needed for playing Command and Conquer games
online. The .ini and .cfg files with similar names arealso part of the
Westwood Online Shared Internet Components.

This sounds as though you are reporting a false positive.

If you are in contact with the developers involved in the product which is
being improperly identified as malware, refer them to this page:

http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/isv/default.mspx

and specifically--the false positive report form--to get this on the road to
being fixed.

Reports from end users are welcomed here--ideally with complete details
about the vendor, product name, and version numbers (and perhaps a download
source) of the product(s) involved in the false positive.

The time will vary depending on your timezone. Mine says 2:39 PM.
Otherwise--that's correct for Windows Defender's current signature
version-yes.

Confirmed : 1.13.1276.16 is current signature version; verification at
Windows update site under 'review your history'

The signature for this file has been re-evaluated. We are going to remove
the detection in an upcoming signature update.
