Believe I have a false positive for Zlob.Cap.DX

Spybot is telling me that I have an infection of Zlob.Cap.DX. I've searched Usenet and the web for any information that would help me confirm that by telling me what that trojan does, but can't find any. Other people here mentioned Zlob trojans bringing up ads and changing browser home pages, but I've seen nothing like that happening.

Spybot is complaining about CLSID FD501041-8EBE-11CE-8183-00AA00577DA1, but when I look at the registry entries relating to ID, it appears to be Newtek codec that was part of Lightwave 8 (i.e. under c:/Program Files/Lightwave [8]/), which is no longer installed on my PC (I uninstalled it after installing Lightwave 9).

I've run Hijack This and SmitfraudFix and don't see anything suspicious. SmitfraudFix mentioned C:\WINDOWS\system32\split.exe, but I believe that's just because I installed a lot of unix-like programs years ago and that appears to be one of them; the date is correct for the downloaded version.

I'll attach those log files in follow-on messages in a second.

Note that I disabled some of the startup programs in the registry by adding xx to the executable names as I got fed up with them but didn't want to completely delete the registry key.

Registry key:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD501041-8EBE-11CE-8183-00AA00577DA1}]
@="Flexible"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD501041-8EBE-11CE-8183-00AA00577DA1}\InprocServer32]
@="C:\\Program Files\\LightWave [8]\\Programs\\Flexible.ax"
"ThreadingModel"="Both"

BTW, Adaware didn't find anything either with a full system scan, but I don't know whether it would report this trojan.

A helper will assist you as soon as available.

As you posted a hjt log etc; your topic was moved to the correct forum for such.

Regards.

hi,
I have reviewed the detection rules and the ClassID in question.

It appears to be a fp. Thus it will be excluded from detection with the next update sceduled for friday.

Thank you Yodama this topic is now closed.
