False detection with latest Adaware update?

[Mannen]

Hi all!


I helped a user and it seems that Adaware removed a windows file with the lastest update (SE1R61 10.08.2005).
After that he lost his search function in Windows. So you all know

Thanks, Mannen.  I quoted your post at BBR since that seems to be where LS R&D watches for issues. 
See http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,14113563

Mannen, LS_SteveJ has responded at BBR asking me to let you know that they are "on the case". 

Did you have the person restore from quarantine and in doing so, did that result in the recovery of the search function in Windows?

I asked him to copy the lost file first from the dllcache folder to the right folder. If that doesnt help i will ask him to restore the objects Adaware removed (a lot)

To anyone following this thread, it has been confirmed as a f/p.  See Steve's reply in that thread. 

Mannen, thanks!

NIce of LS SteveJ to confirm what we already knew ...  :shock:

Ad-Aware scans find NOTHING on this box, NEVER ... when this latest def file uncovered something, what do you suppose the logical conclusion is? In fact, the last time a scan found something, it was, guess what?  (Hint:  false positive)

Nice work Mannen ...  :gwave:

Well done on swift reporting Mannen :thumbsup:, as it was discovered only minutes earlier during "nightshift" in our "icebear" timezone... :lol:

I'm proud to be a staffmember and one of the participants on your forum Mate... :mrgreen:
