Teatimer 1.6.6.32 False Positives

[129260]

@yodama:

Thank you. I just thought that this is really odd behavior for teatimer. Also, maybe this might help, since you mentioned there is a possible issue with incompatibility with another program.

I run the following security programs:

Windows defender, spybot (of course), Avast!, and malware bytes. Although malware bytes is scan only and does not run unless the program is launched, i thought i would still mention it. I was not running any scans or anything during that time. Just installing the latest update for adobe.

@metaed:

It's interesting that you and I have this flagged by teatimer as something different. Like Yodama stated, it might be a compatibility issue. Can you check and see if you have the same security software that i have above listed?

These two other applications are also resident on my PC and scanning files for signatures.

Secunia PSI 1.0.0.3
Avast On-Access Scanner, part of Avast 4.8 Professional, build Feb2009 (4.8.1335)

Thank you for your information on this.
Since both of you have Avast installed I will check on this first to see if there are any issues combined with Teatimer.
I will keep you updated on the results.

Test with Avast and Teatimer is done and they do not appear to collide.

Looks like I have to continue checking on the other apps.

I also forgot to mention that i had secunia psi installed as well, that is what offered me the update to adobe. I just noticed that the other user had that as well. I wonder if secunia psi is the root of the compatibility issue? I highly doubt it, but it might be worth a look...

Also, thanks Yodama for looking into this. Hopefully we can figure out what is going on here with teatimer.

I got a similar thing yesterday afternoon:

3/18/2009 11:35:07 PM Allowed (based on user decision) value "Adobe Reader Speed Launcher" (new data: ""C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe"") added in System Startup global entry!
3/18/2009 11:35:07 PM Encountered and terminated PestCapture in C:\WINDOWS\System32\msiexec.exe!

Pest Capture? Both log entries have identical times and it happened during the Adobe automatic update.

This is on a WinXP Pro system, SP3 - SpyBot 1.6.2.0, System Settings Protector 1.6.6.32

Sunbelt Personal Firewall, IDBlaster, MRUBlaster, KeyScrambler, NOD32, TH Guard all running resident. Pete

I forgot to mention that I have Secunia PSI running here, too. Pete

[Yodama]

thank you for the additional information.

I checked Secunia PSI. There is no indication that it is involved in the Teatimer issue. There appear to be no issues between Teatimer and Secunia PSI.

Maybe I have to look at this issue from a different angle.

any more updates Yodama on what is going on? Thanks

[Yodama]

I currently have no good news on this issue. Only a couple more similar reports.
These Teatimer false positives appear to be random. We may be needing a new version of Teatimer which gives us a bit more output, for instance the SBI ID.
