myidisbb Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 i just notice that my 2 vista 64 search & destroy found it. after 6 hours i figured out that the folder c:\program files\security tools and program files (x86)\security tools in vista or xp will get a hit from search & destroy for it. also rogue remover software shows it too. they both just erase the folder. is this just a !@#$ false positive because of a folder name under program files? that is what it seems. im factory setting my laptop and going to add folder security tools and then install search & destroy to test it.

myidisbb Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 update.i went with the followingc:\programs files\installed software\security tools\etc.search & destroy pass me on the scan. so it was 100% search & destroy false positive bug in their program. so i get to keep my vistas how i want the layout :welcome: but anyway, it would been nice if someone else with search & destroy could test that too. oh well. back to looking into este, nero and newsleeacher for the laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
