EBlaster false positive or spyware?
Following an update to Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6.2.46 several (not all) right-click scans of downloaded files show EBlaster. One was a .png, the other a .doc. Right click scans with AVG and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware showed nothing, as did a quick scan with SUPERAntiSpyware.
I have googled EBlaster and found it is computer and internet monitoring software. Is there a way of getting rid of it so I can safely open the file?
I have Windows XP SP3
False Positive eblaster in heuristic
I have been experiencing the same problem since I updated Spybot yesterday. Previously, the same pdf files passed. They come from reliable sources; e.g., The New York Times Digest. Now, eblaster is shown in the heuristic test. Is this a false positive?
I did pretty much the same things as Highland Raider. I scanned the complete hard drive through SB-S&D with no problem. I ran Ad-Aware, which indicated no malicious stuff. I also ran a virus scan with no problem.
Only the right click shows EBlaster in Heuristic.
What to do? Please advise. Thank you.
EBlaster found everywhere
When I do a folder scan. I have a lot of files that show in the Heuristic scan as EBlaster. Is there a way to get rid of these? Most of them are thumbs.db and pdf's. I have a lot of them.
Thanks for the help....
False Positive - EBlaster
I updated Spybot today and the problem has been eliminated. I checked the files that previously showed a problem in heuristic and they are gone. Many thanks for the support and help.
Have a good day.
