MS Antispyware detects Catalyst as trojan

[Bryan Wright]

I have been running MS antispyware for some time now with ATI Catalyst 5,7
control centre with no problems, but the last MS update is finding ATICC as
a trojan.
cheers

Ah, ok - I installed the Control Panel not the Control Center ...

An update. MS AntiSpyware's new definitions are detecting Catalyst
drivers as a trojan. This is being reported in the MS newsgroups. My
guess is that the Catalyst drivers actually do act as a type of tojan,
but designed that way by ATI. I'm just going to ignore the message
unless I hear otherwise.

Or it may be that they're just seeing some code that by random chances
matches a signature. This does happen on occasion.

ran full scan - Catalyst 5.7, updates 7 Aug, no problem reported.
Could the difference be Control Panel vs Control Center? (I am using Control
Center)
