    Default False positive for SC freeware tools

    It seems that SpyBot recognises my SC registry entries as being the keylogger application SC-Keylog. :(

    Since 2001 I am using this SC entry/folder in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software for several of my freeware applications, e.g. EuroCon : http://www.scip.be/index.php?Page=Pr...uroCon&Lang=EN.

    So I think SpyBot should check some specific registry keys and not only the entry because my applications are no spyware/malware/keyloggers/...

    It would probably be helpful to the members of Team Spybot if you could post the actual detections that 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.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.

    confirmed fp in SC-KeyLog
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SC will be removed from detection with the next update, scheduled for the end of this week.
