Smitfraud-C False Positive?


Earlier tonight I got my first ever TeaTimer popup notification regarding a detected spyware. The exact log info is below:

10/31/2005 8:39:27 PM Encountered and terminated Smitfraud-C. in D:\fps\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe!

The 1st popup displayed a spyware alert message and blocked the program. Subsequently, I can launch and play the game without receiving an alert message but a new entry is added each time to TeaTimer's log.

I've been playing Quake 3 for 5 years and using Spybot for at least 2 years without issue. So I would like to take this seriously but I'm not sure if I should.

Neither my router firewall or McAfee Enterprise FW yield anything suspicious in the logs or permissions. I've checked my WinXP processes and services without detecting anything.

A complete scan with the latest updated version of Ad-Aware also did not find anything. In addition, I use Spyware Blaster, only use FireFox 1.07, and a complete scan with the latest updated Spybot SD yielded only the results below:

----------

Ignore the Windows Security Center items as I use far better replacement products (McAfee AV 8.0i anf McAfee FW 8.5 Enterprise editions).

No mention about quake3.exe or Smitfraud-C. How is this possible that TeaTimer says it's an issue but Spybot SD indicates no problem?

Consequently, I plan to ignore TeaTimer at this time but watch any further development closely. However, if this is a confirmed false positive, it would be nice if it could be corrected so that TeaTimer doesn't log it.
