    Default JMail false positive?

    Hi,
    I have just downloaded Spybot 1.4 after seeing a suspicious entry in HKLM/MS/Windows/Run registry key that turned out to be harmless, but Spybot claims that I am infected with pieces of "NiceSpy." It seems that all of the CLSIDs that it marks as pieces of "NiceSpy" are in fact classes from JMail, a programmable mail class. For example, the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F812B147-0E26-4222-8EE4-9F753CD2B39C} actually corresponds to a JMail POP3 Object. As far as I can tell, there are no reports of JMail itself being infected with malware, rather it seems that malware manufacturers install JMail to send/receive mail for tracking purposes. For example, I see that W32.Aprilcone.A@mm also uses JMail as does NiceSpy and Email-Worm.Win32.Dushit.a
    Please take a look into this issue further.

    Please post a log of the actual detections you are getting. To do that:
    • Run another scan.
    • When the scan completes, right click on the results list, select "Copy results to clipboard".
    • Then paste those results to a new post in this thread.

    Thanks

    thanks for reporting, it is not unusual for spyware to also install classids from other applications.

    the parts which can be associated with jmail have been considered false positives and have been removed from detection

    Hello the same happens in my computer, the NiceSpy is reported by the Spybot but the Symantec Antivirus don't find nothing in the computer.
    I also locked for the binaries files of the Spyware reported by the Symantec, and I don't find it.
    I also have the JMail installed in my computer.
    I hope this helps you guys.
