Where did the false positive occur: Scan result

Scan result:
Search-Explorer: Interface (IPugiObj) (Registry key, nothing done)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{9E3B11F6-4179-4603-A71B-A55F4BCB0BEC}

It says the "Kind" is TrojansC-05. Is this using heuristics?

When I look for the related TypeLib in the registry, it comes back with the AVG security toolbar, which install with AVG 2012:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\AVG Secure Search\ToolBandTlb\8.0.1\

Is this a false positive?

Thank you for reporting this false positive.
The interface does belong to the AVG toolbar, it gets detected by the interface name with an old detection rule from 2002.

This will be corrected with the next detection update.
