    Default False Positive

    I have XP SP2 IE6 Firefox 3.5.2
    Spybot 1.6.2.46 last update 8-5-09

    This appeared during a scan last night:
    Virtumonde
    Trojan
    (SBI $050FD60A) Library
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\WMDRMdev.dll

    Can you tell me if this is indeed a false positive and what I need to do about it?
    I didn't fix it, I just left it there and closed the program.
    Thanks.

    Attach the file (zipped) and send it (email will be in the thread), with a reference to this thread.

    Hi, I emailed the file to Spybot. Will I be told here what they find out?
    Thank you.

    hello,

    I can confirm this false positive. It will be corrected with the detection update scheduled for release on Wednesday 2009-08-12.

    Default what is fast positive

    i have been downloading free games from Pogo, Comcast, Real Arcade and big fish for ever....today i tried to download a game from comcast and Spybot wouldnt allow it, even after I clicked on the little box saying 'allow it'. I ended up uninstalling spybot because it was doing this to every game i was trying to download...what's up? It never did this before. Is that what 'False positive " means?

    hello sploozy,
    it appears that you had false positives with the SDHelper Internet Explorer plugin provided by Spybot S&D.
    But to confirm if this really was a false positive we need more information, for instance the download links in question.

    The version number and update state of Spybot S&D would have also been helpful.
    Please also keep in mind that the SDHelper is configurable to remember decisions for a URL.
