MSDN coming up as Shop At Home spyware alert

[Guest]

I am getting a high level alert on a hxs file in MSDN data which I would
think is not a problem... any ideas if it is or not?

C:\Program
Files\MSDN\2003FEB\1033\dnenq.hxs->/$Samples/5316/5316.exe->(WinZipSfx)->x86/vs/VSI2.cab->Common\Tools\VS-Ent98\VSInst\BuildRes\mdac.msm->(MSI Stream 0)

Thanks, yea it looks like the same thing, guess they still have not fixed it.
Oh well I will just tell the "DEFENDER" to ignore it

This is a false positive. Microsoft is aware of it, and I would expect it
to be fixed soon.

This should be fixed in the signature update released earlier today.

Thanks

I believe this false positive was fixed in yesterday's definition update
which was available before I posted that message!
