Package it up and send it off to a company that will inspect it, or even just give them the link to PB's site. Symantec (Norton) will do this for virii, so they'll probably do it for spyware, too.</p> <p>I do recognise that you probably mean GaotD should have inspected it themselves, but at least you can do that. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1579#post-9775 Mon, 03 Sep 2007 05:21:31 +0000 Face 9775@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Today when I ran a-squared Anti-Malware 3.0 it noted the following:</p> <p>a-squared Malware-Info<br /> Name: Heuristic.Dialer.Vendor<br /> Description:</p> <p>Heuristic is a technique to detect Malware that ignores whether the detection can be proven to be correct, but which usually ensures a good detection rate. A heuristic detection module searches for Malware specific patterns such as Win-API calls.</p> <p>A file detected as Heuristic.* looks like Malware, but you should always check them if it may be a false alert. If you are not sure, please always use the quarantine and do not delete such files immediately.</p> <p>I looked back through the forums and found:</p> <p>I downloaded July,27,2007's giveaway of the day and my panda titanium 2006 detected<br /> Premium booster 2.2 as a worm W32-agobot LQ and adware/spylocked. So i was suspicious so i tried the program in norton 360 and it detected it as a W32-agobot LQ worm and backdoor trojan. On <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/premium-booster-2-2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/premium-booster-2-2/</a> they're are several comments that list this software as malicious. comments #8,#9,#15,#19,#20,#21,#28,#40. </p> <p>Posted 1 month ago # </p> <p>I'm wondering if anyone has researched this further to determine whether there is really a problem with Premium Booster, or if it is just that the way it operates tends to set off false alarms. </p>
