Hello all,

My Spybot says:
Congratulations!: No immediate threats were found. ()
--- Spybot - Search & Destroy version: 1.6.0 (build: 20080707) ---
but when I tried to scan with trendmicro online scanner it shows this and then Firefox crashes. Is this false positive? Thank you for your help.

We can't really help because this is not related to Spybot-Search&Destroy. Is there any other information? Like where this "infection" is located? I think clicking on the underlined "infection" should give you the location of the file.

Let me rephrase my question in relation to Spy bot:
If I had this infection on my PC, would Spy bot be able to detect it?

No, the underlined "infection" doesnot seem to be clickable.
t.y.

This is kind of hard to answer, because this "infection" is vague because there is no file that it specifies. Not only that but several companies can give the same infection different names, get my drift?

I haven't scanned with Trend Micro's online scanner, but I recall that you could see where the infected file is located. Not sure though, but you can try clicking on the second option and see what it brings up. It's all foggy to me, so I can't expect it to be accurate.
