libexpat false positive

Jon Stelly

I've got MSAS reporting a false positive for
libexpat.dll. Reporting it as AproposMedia. This .dll is
a shared library XML parser, and while it might be used in
AproposMedia, the library alone poses no threat.

Jon,

The file's location is the tipoff on whether it's spyware or not.
Believe it is also a part of PeopleOnPeople Dataminer and would then be
located in Program Files\AutoUpdate. Where is the file being detected on
the system you've scanned ?
