David,

I have Re Downloaded this file onto an empty CD to re create the problem
which is in the Uninstal section of the App.

Hope this helps

You will no doubt see that Bit Defender has found the same result as
BULLGUARD, KASOERSKY has also found someting Complete scanning result of
"PrettyMay-setup.exe", received in VirusTotal at 02.26.2007, 12:27:59 (CET).

When you say that this can be potentially used as Malware.Does that mean
[and please forgive my ignorance] that a Hacker could get into this and
Distribute it in some kind of processed form?

Regards

Mike

VirusTotal is a free service offered by Hispasec Sistemas. There are no
guarantees about the availability and continuity of this service. Although
the detection rate afforded by the use of multiple antivirus engines is far
superior to that offered by just one product, these results DO NOT guarantee
the harmlessness of a file. Currently, there is not any solution that offers
a 100% effectiveness rate for detecting viruses and malware.

Like I repklied earlier...

I again want to stress that Prockill.A kis NOT a virus it is a utilitity in the
class of
"potentially unwanted programs" because in itself it is not malicious but it may
be used
maliciously.

Thanks once again for those who took the trouble to help me out with a
reported problem from BULLGUARD's AV Prog.
A Special thanks to Art for pointing me to this Newsgroup as I had
originally posted the Help request on Alt.Comp.Freeware NG in the hope that
there was something out there that would get rid of my then perceived
problem.
BULLGUARD offered to fix the reported problem and after 'Turning up the
Heat' [when the first round of fixing failed] they ask you to send them the
Scan Log which I did. When I received the remedial instructions from them of
'How to fix' I carried out the processes already mentioned.
I am still very much an ignoramus when it comes to reported 'Nasties'
[particularly having read of the horrendous actions of Hackers and what they
can achieve] which is why I rely on the AV Program advised by my ISP and yes
I did PANIC when I got the results. Hindsight is a Perfect Science which
none of us possess and my actions [certainly shorterm] have likely caused me
more loss than gain but at least thanks to this NG I have learned to ask
'those in the know' before spontaneous and ignorant embarkation,

Thanks again
