MS Anti-SpyWare (Beta 1) removes MP3 files ?

G

cleaner.log says that MS Anti-SpyWare removed a bunch of
my MP3 files. Is this expected behavior ?

Example:

1/6/2005 11:46:08 AM::Removing file c:\program
files\bearshare\downloads\csny.mp3

It's possible to infect MP3 files IIRC, but more as viri not as spyware when
they target a hole in a specific app such as MPlayer or WinAmp.

Therefore, possibly a false positive?

Remember: This is beta software. Choose to move the file elsewhere and don't
delete it. Then run a second or third program (like Lavasoft AdAware or
SpyBot) and see if it picks up the same files.
