    Default tapicfg.exe

    Spybot is saying that I have CoolWWWSearch.tapicfg.exe installed.

    However, when I examine the file, it matches the file that shipped with my copy of Windows. Is this a false-positive?

    Sorry, should have read more first. Here is the requested information.

    OS: Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 x64 (Standard Ed)
    Browser: IE7, latest patches
    Spybot: 1.5.2.20 (Latest regular & Latest beta update)
    The false-positive is in the scan results. After fix, it is clean, however windows protection puts the file back automatically from backups.

    This started when I upgraded to 1.5.2.20 I do not know what version I had before.

    I had to zip the report as it is 50k

    Question same here

    I am also getting this cool Search tapicfg.exe probem in Spy Bot. I also just updated to the latest version. Never had this before on previous version. I have run Spy Bot 3 times once upon boot up. I also am Running Win 2003. Coincidence? Windows keeps putting file back on reboot. Is this a false positive? I even did the registry removal suggested at Trend Micro. Still it keeps showing up in Spy Bot. What gives?

    hello,
    thank you for reporting this.
    It is a false positive with Windoes 2003, please set the detection to be ignored from further searches.
    We will correct this false positive with the next update.
