    Default false positive for hpdiags.exe

    * Operating System=in sig -windows xp home sp3

    * Browser and Version=Internet Explorer 7, FireFox 3

    * Version of Spybot S&D and Date of the latest update: 1.6 with latest updates as of 12/2/08 ( i know updates come tomorrow, sorry i reported so late; i just found it yesterday.)

    * where did the false positive occur: in internet explorer 7 using hp system check tool. Problem occurred with teatimer.

    Ok, i use the laptop system health utility provided by hp, its available on there website here.

    When i went to run the tool like always, (by clicking scan my system) teatimer popped up and stated the following: spybot has encountered and terminated a process that is listed as part of malicious software.

    Then says: process id: 3428
    filename: hpdiags.exe
    found in: c:/docume``1\user\locals``1\temp\hi...then trails off.
    identified as: ZombieRat

    Thats the info it gives me. I chose never tell me again and let it run; as i know darn well that it is perfectaly legit tool that checks your computers health and state of drives, memory etc. It's a Diagnostic tool. Screenshot is attached and i recommend a look at it. I have never had this happen before when i was on this website. Thanks for any help you can offer.
