    Default Win32.Sober found in Windows 7 - false positive?

    Hi
    I'm using Windows 7 Beta and the latest Spybot.
    It found "Win32.Sober" in the "conhost.exe"

    Edit:
    And yes, I know it's a Beta and Spybot is not yet supported.

    Edit2:
    Virustotal shows green lights on all scanners. So it's possible this is a false positive. Please adjust the signatures of Spybot.

    Edit3:
    Oh, it has already been reported. http://www.sevenforums.com/system-se...ost-exe-3.html

    thank you for reporting this issue.
    It does appear to be a false positive, for further analysis please email the conhost.exe to detections-at-spybot.info (replace -at- with @).
