Another (known) false positive! SpywareBlaster. Lectori salutem, Following logfile in Dutch, hope you understand the translations of your own software, however, the Dutch translation of Security 360 v1.0 is far from perfect, it's in fact full of wrong spelling and grammar as well... --------------------------------- IObit Security 360 OS:Windows XP Versie:1.0.0.60 Define Versie:1202 Verstreken Tijd:00:24:15 Objecten Gescand:59952 Bedreigingen gevonden:1 |Naam|Type|Beschrijving|ID| Hijack.Homepage, Registry Data, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel Value=Homepage, 6-238 ---------------------------------- This is without a doubt a false positive, but other antimalware scanners often make the same mistake. Just take a look at the screenshot attached and you will know what I mean.... I locked the homepage of Internet Explorer (or should I say Internet Exploder, for I prefer Mozilla Firefox above all other inferior, unsafe browsers) intentionally with a legitimate and trusted tool called SpywareBlaster to PREVENT malicious attacks from changing my homepage! There are more scanners that confuse this prevention measure in order to safeguard my browser settings with a "hijack". I wonder why... Any ideas how Iobit could avoid confusing an intentionally protection with a hijack in future releases or (minor) updates? If you are the ones who pretend to have developed a security tool that's much better than all other scanners, then it's pitiful that Security 360 makes the very same mistake as all others, which is imho a potential proof that there is still a lot of work to be done to make this software more worthwhile in the future, just as ASC3 Pro had several nasty flaws in its first releases, but in the meantime after several upgrades and bugfixes they are solved at last. I had my complaints about ASC3 Pro in the past, but thanks to the many bugfixes I'm nowadays quite satisfied. But to stay on-topic: proof of the false positive that I am reporting now = screenshot (file-attach). Grtz, M.

False positive: TheWorld Browser. LS, Since when a legitimate browser that I'm already using for a long time seems to be malware??? This browser, called TheWorld browser is already promoted and praised as a valuable, faster and safer alternative for Internet Explorer by ZDNet, CNet and more. Better protection, more options, more user-friendly. It uses the same render-engine of Internet Explorer but improved it by adding its own features. Never experienced complaints about it, also no other well-known antivirus or antimalware scanner has discovered any harm in it. Just to let you know that I have my sincere doubts about considering this IE-alternative as malware. It's rather a false positive imho. Please consider further research in order to make sure it's a 100 percent safe application. I've downloaded it from their official website. McAfee SiteAdvisor is also not aware of any complaints.
