Is srvany.exe a trojan?

[Guest]

Now who said Windows Defender Beta 2 doesn't detect anything?

Windows Defender Beta 2 identified the srvany.exe from my Windows 2000 Pro
Resource Kit installation as a high-risk (Winlog) Trojan!
But it spared the srvany.exe from my Windows 2003 Resource Kit Tools
installation.

Has anoyne else run into this issue?

Yes, apparently it's quite an old issue, is it is or is it ain't spyware?

So it's up to you to decide, and now you can vote on it through SpyNet...

Dave M is right--this has been seen before a few times in the course of this
beta. You're the first to post that the newer one is now given a pass.

Thanks to all these new PRIVATE newsgroups, my Google search didn't retrieve
that info.
Anyway, Thanks Guys!

Once the product goes gold, there'll be a different support structure in
place--but I can't predict at this point what that will be. I for one
cetainly hope that it will maintain a lengthy retention period, and be
indexed well by more than one major indexing scheme.
