    Default FarmvilleBot.exe ( Fraid.SecurityTool )

    I just download farmvillebot and installed it, when I tried to run it I got the message farmvillebot.exe found in C:\FarmvilleBot_2.1\ is a Fraud.SecurityTool and is considered malicious software.

    I can't see how this could be true, there are many people who use it you would think no one would use it if this were true so I'm guessing it is a false positive, their site has an entire forum full of users and support, bug reports and so on, but I need feedback.

    Windows 7
    Spybot 1.6.2.0

    please read this post on how to report a false positive.

    It would also be good if you submit additional information, for instance the download location. A false positive is a possibility but a compromised download location is also possible.

    I'm just trying to help
    but honestly, I am wayyyy too lazy to do all that
    so the site is
    link removed for security reasons
    I don't think it's compromised it's a false positive according to many on the forums there. I'll just tell Spybot to ignore

    have a nice day

    Oh my! I just turned into a spider

    without proper information it is almost impossible to exclude the file in question.
