    Cool wincontrol false positive (2nd time)

    Hi there

    I updated my definitions today (2.6.2006) and did a scan.
    Spybot found "Wincontrol" - Keylogger in C:\Windows\SETUP1.exe

    I did some other scans at
    www.virustotal.com
    http://virusscan.jotti.org/

    and

    with my resident Kaspersky

    and

    with ad-aware se & A˛

    no scanner found anything

    Therefore I browsed this forum and found some related topics to the file C:\Windows\SETUP1:

    http://forums.spybot.info/showthread...ght=Setup1.exe

    http://forums.spybot.info/showthread...hlight=Phoenix

    The File identifies itself as MS Visual Basic....again

    I suspect it to be a false positive since it appeared after installing the latest definitions which added Wincontrol.

    I copied the md5 sum and the results of the online scan for further study:

    I suspect the same as someoneother. Here are identical Checksums, File size and OS.

    According to wobbler, the false possitive was corrected with the 2006-06-10 updates. See the following thread:
