Hot_Tarts_mc.exe not to be found spyware?

[Ovenwantje]

Hi,

MS Antispyware does not rate Hot_Tarts_mc.exe as to be spyware. I find this
pretty peculiar because DameWare, which is a legitimate tool, is rated as to
be spyware!

I found Hot_Tarts_mc.exe by accident because I had to kill another program
using Task Manager, when this proces caught my eye. The program isn't hard
to remove, because it is in add/remove programs, but why doesn't the MS
Antispyware tool find this program to be spy- or adware?

Any clues any one?

Regards,

Erik N.

Hi,

I'm not sure that it is spyware. More like a trojan or even a virus. A quick
Google of it shows it to be a dialer.
It's tough to call a rose by any other name, and I think all this stuff be
it spyware,virus, trojan should go in the same bucket.
