Today when I ran a-squared Anti-Malware 3.0 it noted the following:
a-squared Malware-Info
Name: Heuristic.Dialer.Vendor
Description:
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.
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.
I looked back through the forums and found:
I downloaded July,27,2007's giveaway of the day and my panda titanium 2006 detected
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 http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/premium-booster-2-2/ they're are several comments that list this software as malicious. comments #8,#9,#15,#19,#20,#21,#28,#40.

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.
