Anti-Virus-Companies infected with mad-cow-disease?
« on: April 18, 2007, 12:45:17 am »
This week AV-Guard gave me multiple false positives (TR/Crypt.ULPM.Gen) occuring in some cracks and keygens. On the Avira Forum an Avira-official wrote they knew of the wrong positives and kept them willingly because cracks and keygens aren't legal.

From same update on Event-ID 4226 patch is classified as malware.

So from now on i'd classifiy Avira-Antivir as Malware.
still somehow freightened when i shall get inserted

Even Adaware flags the Event-ID file up on my machine, its seems many anti-malware companies are getting lazy and over generalising their detection routines so that they impact on users who are fully aware of what their files do and want to keep them intact.

Are we seeing the emergence here of a kind of moral police who decided the type of files your allowed to own ?

Companies making products that generate false positives is something we are unfortunately plagued with , but to make them target legitimate files on purpose is perhaps an indication of the type of software best not employed.
