(SOLVED) Reporting false positives ?

[scbs29]

I have just scanned my system with Comodo, MalwareBytes and SAS.

Comodo and MalwareBytes gave a clean bill of health.

SAS reported

Adware.AddLyrics/Variant
    C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\DEXPOT\UNINSTALL.EXE
    C:\USERS\......\APPDATA\ROAMING\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\DEXPOT\DEXPOT UNINSTALL.LNK
    C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINPCAP\UNINSTALL.EXE
    C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\FREEMAKE\CAPTURELIB\WINPCAP.EXE

 

I submitted these files to virustotal and both were clean. According to virustotal whese files were tested with SAS and found clean.

 

I use SAS v6.0.1130.  After the scan the 'built-in false positive reporter at the end of the scan' was not shown. Is this still available in this version?

I have not found anything in SAS that mentions this.

I scanned the installer I got from the direct download site for FotoSketcher 2.96 with avast!, MBAM and SAS on my x86 Vista laptop and it was clean. SAS flagged it has having a PUP on my x64 Win 7 desktop. MSE flagged it as clean. I also ran an MBAM scan which was also clean. When I copied the x86 installer, previously SAS had claimed clean on my Vista computer to my Win 7 machine SAS flagged it as having a PUP!

 

I'm guessing this is also a false positive.

Can you make a new thread for this as it may be different from the OP's

 

Thanks.

OK.

OK, thanks. I've just scanned it and it comes up clean now.
